    Another classic today.

    I produced some illustrations last Monday, tight turnaround, client keen to get them done. No problem, I had a light week.

    The first draft goes up that afternoon, I get some minor positive feedback. I post back same day, ask a few questions, await further feedback.

    Nothing until 5pm on Friday. Then a huge long email arrives with a complete spec change and my mobile starts going. I don't answer.

    He then emails asking for it to be done today.

    Sorry mate, you missed your slot. I'm busy till Thursday.

    Have some respect for people's time for fucks sake.

    • No you don't. I hate clients like this. They unburden themselves on a Friday so they can enjoy their weekend at the cost of yours.ETM
    • Clients try this all the time and I won't have it. Sorry, not unless I agreed ahead of time to work the weekend or they want to pay rush (double) rate.ETM
    • Got another today as well. Billboard artwork due last week, didn't get the spec I asked for until today. 'Can we have it today'.monoboy
