    you bio. sorry to bomb your thread with a rant of this sort but i have just come across the mother of all stoopid office people.

    2 weeks ago i completed a one page (front and back) "brochure" for a software program we created. they gave me specs directly from a competitors program of the same liking and i just copied and pasted it in as a "for now" kinda thing. also i placed comps in of photos we could use clearly watermarked with corbis and comstock.

    today they come to me and say... and i shit you not... "hey doug (kOna), great work on the brochure, it looks fabulous. we sent them out to a few prospective clients on monday and are awaiting to hear back.

    in horror all i could do is just sit here comprehending what they just did.

    i politely tell them about the watermarked images and the somewhat dummy text that the competitors product does, but not ours and the look on their face almost made up for the previous 27 years of being pushed around by men in suits.

    unbelievable.
