i want to kill my clients today. I want to hear the sound of their skulls shattering as I drive a brick through their faces. Either it was a poor valentine's day for them yesterday or their IQs dropped after having too much chocolate and champagne. Either way, the emails and phone calls I'm getting are fuelling my inner monster.
i am not a happy man.

seriously the next client who asks me to do something stupid will be asked to fuck off

I feel your pain, our client has had a shit leaflet done (really awfull) and asked me to 'replicate it'! "Ooooh can you do it just like this" he says, not on your fucking nelly!!!!!!!!!!!

it's happened.
i'm not proud of it. it's awfully unprofessional. I'm actually shaking now.
i've now been asked to come into a meeting to discuss my attitude towards a certain project manager.
i guess i shouldn't have told her to take her stupid mailer and shove it up her arse. she didn't believe what i said when i said it so I repeated it.
i think i need a holiday... :(
they were a crap client anyway. took months to pay.

Haha! I deal with sales reps (oh, I'm sorry, that's 'Advertising Account Executive', like it says on your business card. Fucking cocksucker...) like this on a daily basis, week to week. It drives me nuts that someone who is certifiably mentally retarded to the point that they can not form proper sentances and they talk REALLY loudly over the phone and make bullshit design changes can make more money than me. Or, when I work an 18 hour day (Monday) and a 15 hour day (last night) to get all of this shit done, and we never get a thank you or a "good job" or a handjob or anything. Bullshit.

uh-oh, hon. good luck. i'm lucky i'm not in the office today. a client who has been doing his goddamned level best to destroy my sanity for the past three months has now asked for delivery on friday. hahaaaa.... oh, friday. he hasn't even signed off printer's proofs yet! fucking fuckface.

fuck em, fuck em all. either i'm being a stuck-up snobby designer who feels the whole world has gone to pot or it's just a bad day and I need time off.
hell fuck it, I'm off down the pub to get razzed. i might even have a cigarette.
check of a client told me that they were in charge of the project and that i should LISTEN to what they had to say. Yeah, LISTEN but not implement what you're telling me to do is using my design-educated judgement which tells me full well that putting red next to fucking green = CHRISTMAS.
nob jockeys the lot of them

It makes me laugh that everything we design for print will one day, eventually, end up in the bin. It doesn't say a lot about our jobs...
Be happy, its only a job...

it's not the destination I'm bothered with, it's the journey. sometimes it's like being stuck on a crowded train sandwiched between a sweaty builder who stinks of cider and someone eating chips with too much vinegar.

It could always be worse... I have a client that sends me shitty little mock ups in ppt...
He just loves comic sans.

that right guys!
like we said the hardiest thing in design isn't typographie, draw, or something else.. is to EDUCATE the client who didn't know anythink on this stuff...
imagine that my boss got fucked 80's - 90's references
:s
this is so hard for me, i promise.
