    Agreed jevad, its a strange profession. I got a call from a client one Friday night a few weeks ago. I was working on a magazine and they were late supplying articles, so the client rings me at 3 on a Friday afternoon to make sure I was going to be working late on it. Not to see if I could work late, or to exquire if I was going to be working late, but to make sure I was.

    Told her that it was Friday, I was going home at 5.30 and that even if I were to stay late the printer wasn't going to print it till Monday. She was offended, like I'd just beaten her cat in front of her, and couldn't understand why I would possibly NOT be working on a Friday night.
