    "People misusing ASAP".

    I've had a client who has been emailling me since mid April about a job - every single email includes the use of 'ASAP' in relation to the completion of the job. i respond to every single email 'asap' and then wait days (one time two weeks) for a response.

    I know what'll happen if the job ever comes to fruition - I'll end up on the sharp end of whatever his client's understanding of 'ASAP' is and end up working 18-hour days.

    (I coulda sworn I'd put this here already somewhere - perhaps i moaned about this back in my NTC days...)
