So I've just learned that Im probably working the whole weekend cos of an awkward client. So right now Im trying to keep my spirits up!
While swearing like a bastard under my breath of course...

I worked 7 days a week for 10 months back in 2004. welcome to the club.
but nothing sucks worse than finding out on a friday, especially when its due to incompetence from other people.

i'm now finishing my 9th year in vacations. i'm bored.

Ha, yeah emecks, thats how i feel. At least I don't have to pretend to be a Michael Bolton fan.
So I've had my first coffee and a big greasy sausage roll. Whats next to keep up the spirits?
And, im off cigarettes, but was dying for one when I found out. Like Lloyd Bridges in Airplane... Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking.

He he he.
Looks like you may also picked the wrong week to give up PCP.

And the wrong week to quit sniffing glue...

The good thing though, is although I reckon 90% of people on this board would bitch about the situation your in, start complaining about project managers, account amangers all stuffing them around. Offer advice about resigning, etc.
You're taking it on the chin and just getting on with it.
Thats pretty admirable.

Thats just cos Ive had me coffee and grumbled about it to myself already had a grumble about it!
Now Im just trying to not let it get to me! Still waiting on a shit load of content, so not a huge amount that I can do, reading all the office space quotes on imdb helped...

I am in the same situation, my boss at work booked me for an edit and the client expects me to begin the edit at twelve today and stop when it is done :/ as in work solid no matter how long it takes, I imagine at about ten this evening when I am pressing the wrong buttons and dribbling I will probably fall out with the director.

Damn chossy, sorry to hear you're in the same situation. Its crappy, but if it has to be done, no point complaining, even if my client is starting to pixel fuck the design now!

True madirish, very true.
It should be:
A lack of planning or preparation on your part, creates an epic shitstorm on my part. Thanks for caring.Woo, nearly time for lunch and still none of the content I need. Perhaps I'll just retire to the pub for the afternoon.

(Jul 27 07, 02:52)tell him he can only do that cos hsi knob is miniscule and go home.
- ian0
hehehe. I wish I could baby, but me thinks I'd be looking for a new gig then... unless
* starts doodling 'I am a cock' on photo of client to go into report...
- chossy0
And I'm done :D
christ almighty that was intense!!! I was looking down at my hands during my edit all I saw was a blur of motion and frenzy :/ I am absolutely wired, my boss is away to to the pub and hes bringing me back a pint :E
I hope things go smoothly for you ian... I'll be thinking of you, we're pretty much brothers in arms he he :)
- ian0
Wooo, Saturday and in work. Yeah baby! Congrats on finishing up chossy, we are indeed brothers in arms, however without the crap dire straights music.
Had a few drinks last night after work so feelin a bit seedy now and I have to get a project ready for print on monday. Oh, i really wish I was still in bed! Ah well, how bad could it be...
- ian0
Hmmm. So I had SuerHappyFunDay on Saturday after client had freaked at my boss about my designs.
Worked till 8 on Saturday, got designs ready and sent to client. Got in today to find out client hates design that was picked 4 months ago and now I have 24 hours to get it right. Now Im tired after my day off yesterday (which was really fun) but dreading the day ahead.
Anyone have the same thing happen to them?
- chossy0
what a bozo delux :/ can you shoot bullets and aids down the phone line to him / her?.... I guess not tell you what I'll go and spend today working out how to get bullets down a phone line, I suppose you could destroy your client with mind bullets...
