During a meeting last Friday:
Me: By the way, you haven't sent me the material in high resolution yet...
Client (a sales manager): (name of the intern) hasn't given it to you yet? Honestly, we don't know where she is, she hasn't shown up at the office all week...
And I mean, an employee (even though she's an intern) doesn't show up in your office all week, she doesn't show signs of life, and you don't even bother to worry about her? Not only for the proper functioning of the company, for professionalism, etc. If not, for humanity? Maybe he is not well, something has happened to her or who knows...
Apart from seeming despotic, cynical and unprofessional, he shows not to have the minimum of humanity.
- He probably mixed a little too much azucar and narcissism in his bullshit-for-the-day elixircanoe

Last night was an unparalleled real-life nightmare. The kind of situation you know 'could' happen working in design, but never had until slack pings, "He really wants to see this idea."
4.5 different shapes or typefaces in a two word logo with 6 letters. This logo is so bad - even though it was designed by committee - I'd still never show my face here again.
I previously provided 20 ideas, at least 2 acceptable by my standards. So at this point I'm kinda perturbed right, so I had to mention that maybe it's not the logo and it's the name of the app.
After all that I feel like I have designer's nausea this morning. It's been a while, but that good ol' feeling of cognitive dissonance has kicked in.
If every client had a jingle this would fit nicely -

- "try with a happier picture" lolmaquito
- There's an ongoing joke between friends, "I'm the God Damn Designer". Luckily Milton Glaser never had to deal with worrying about standing up for our part.canoe

Brand new client with a nice project what looks like a long term gig for 3-4 people. Got me awesome super excited really quick, after some nice talks we understand each other, everything is alright.
I asked for a skype contact, got an invite.
Nickname includes "trump".
A world collapsed in me, right now all I can think about is when is it going to go crazy...

Client just went ape shit, mostly brought on by his technical inadequacies, during an emergency meeting where he was completely unclear on how to match the content document to the mock up. A little levity was needed so I dropped the old Eff Bomb Jar joke and he came through eventually. Fuckin' Wall Streeters!

So we pitched an engineering firm for a decent sized project and they finally approved it after whatever internal approval process they had in place.
The pitch was 8 years ago.
