    "2am Studio", eh? So, you leave everything 'til the last minute?

    If I have one piece of advice from my years in the various corners of this shitty industry, it's this:

    Never, ever, ever, ever let your clients know how late you leave doing their work.

    NOT because it makes you look unprofessional (although it clearly does), rather because you'll end up attracting the type of clients who are just like you, and who consequently end up leaving everything from their side 'til the last minute too.

    = Massive headache.

    I got rid of a client earlier this year after they ended up getting in the habit of trying to organise meetings for 9pm on a Friday night. They went from being people I quite enjoyed working with to people I resented as they simply presumed I'd be at their last minute beck and call.

    • < self-indulgent rant is mostly nothing to do with this thread. Sorry.detritus
