Just spent the last 40 minutes swearing at myself and a client I don't particularly like (he never looks me in the eye in conversation and he's a cheap wee cunt with poor chat to boot) as I left a pain in the ass job for as long as I could... but he's back in the country tomorrow so now I need to get it done.
Despite having explained to him how tricky the job is and how important it is that it's prepped right so that I don't have to waste oodles of time fart-arsing around to get things to fit, he obliviously relayed when he dropped his stuff around "I got these done on the cheap". Alarm bells. I did a cursory examination whilst he was here and realised some redeemable problems, but not quite the full extent.
So now I've left everything to the last minute I've realised how badly done his cheapness is and now I've got to spent extra time fucking around to compensate for his cheapery.
So I'm annoyed at him, because he's cheap, but annoyed at myself more because if I'd realised the problem a week and a half ago, I could've with full self-satisfaction told him I'm not going to bother doing his job because he ignored everything I told him and got it done on the cheap.
But it's too late for that now. Far too late.
I'm an idiot.
God, I really dislike him.
I've wasted an extra five minutes whinging about him here now too. God, so, so irritated.
Fucksticks.

I've had to scan this three times to ensure I've not mentioned anything specific that could tie me to him. Can't have a repeat of public spaces abutting with the personal, whatwhat. :|
