I had a client a couple of years ago who commissioned me to do illustration and then mysteriously transmorphed the job into designing and laying out a little booklet. She was a fucking nightmare and one the day of going to print she called up with changes which she only had time to tell me down the phone.
There were about a hundred changes, all similar to this "Take page three out, call it page four but put it next to page 8 at the back, take page 8 and put it one the left hand side of spread 6, take the text from 4, swap it with 8 and put the old text from page 2 on page seven, shuffling everything along one page but deleting paragraph 3 from what will be page 5 and adding the four piece of new texts I just emailed you"
She was a shouty uptight horror and she told me about ten times the amount of the above example, then hung up. I got halph way through trying to reconfigure and she'd phone up and say "Right, we've been thinking about this and now we want you to..."
In the end I did have to tell her to fuck off and do it herself once I was on the 8th phone call and she was screaming like a psychopath down the phone at me for 'not paying attention'.
- Best bit was they were a government quango and I lodged an official complaint and got paid in full. LOLKoopsy
- i hate clients like this with a passion.********
