Prospective client seems to have a psychological aversion to email. currently getting text messages informing me that all the images are coming via whatsapp.
wtf?
- time to set some working guidelines ... I often tell clients that anything they chat or text me is likely to get lost for goodmonospaced
- haha, i've literally in the past 5 minutes had someone text me after a very old and favoured client gave him my fucking personal number. ...detritus
- ...to which I've asked 'no more. email, please!' and then they've sent a blank email, so I've got to use the fucking text anyway. grr.detritus
- I had someone a few months back ask "how do that?" when I insisted upon email over something like whatsapp or FB. That was not a job I wanted.detritus
- even when he does manage to email he texts to tell me he's sent it - as though I need forewarning in order to wind up the email machineFax_Benson

- Your clients sound like fucking animals. You're going to give yourself a fucking aneurysm with all this static.face_melter
- I had someone insist upon sending me a printout and a USB with a file on for a couple of pieces of text set in tightly-tracked Times New Roman.detritus
- I told him at least five times he needn't bother as I could just replicate it, but there it is in front of me - a decade-old memory stick with fuck all on it.detritus
- Mine's a nice old chap, but this job's almost pointlessly tiny, as was the last one which I only did because his daughter is a regular-ish client.detritus
- ha, how precious can you be and still use TimesFax_Benson
- lol @det. I've had to travel to see a client before just they could do a 'handover' of content whatever that is. Get there and have to sit and discuss a wordfadein11
- doc with content for a 3 page website. Refused to just email it.fadein11
- just so*fadein11
- It wasn't that far but there goes 2 hours of a busy dayfadein11
- @fax before I saw it he said "Oh, it's got to be done right, it's based on what the SIGNWRITER (importance highlighted) created for us", and then.. *crap*detritus
- @fade - haha, aye, I manage to get people to waste their time coming here instead :)detritus
- ...still don't get paid for that time though :\detritus
- As I am getting older I seem to be sacking clients more than taking new ones on - this is surely not sustainable :)fadein11
- Ah, that reminds me... *emails Rob*detritus
- MILLENIALS ARE COMING. And millenials thinks emails are for their grand parents. Deal with it.Bennn
