I have insomnia so I came back but I see Jnr's logged in so I'm going to go and try a bit harder with the whole going to sleep thing.
I'm a bit pissed off with a client actually, and its keeping me awake. A certain national retail chain who shall remain nameless and please don't name them want me to work the full week for a Friday deadline bit they only want to pay me the full amount if they go ahead and use the work. They let slip today that someone else is also developing ideas for them for the same thing... fair enough but they never declared that from the outset. Whenever I do work for them it never gets finished so I'm always careful about having a stepped payment method becuase I'll get to presentation stage then they'll suddenly say "We don't need to take this any further thanks please send us your invoice' and I just know its becuase they take it in-house and finish it themselves. I sort of don't care normally becuase they pay me for what I do and I don;t have the hassle of seeing it through, so it feels a bit like easy money sometimes, but to be asked today to ringfence some of my time-based fee for payment only if they go ahead suddenly seems unacceptable at 12.20pm when I really should be getting some sleep.
I probably haven't explained this problem very well but mark my words my disgruntlement is valid. I demand regruntlement, innediately.
I did a few hearty pop-pops as I wrote that last part.
