Headache, Oye
Saturday, January 28th, 2006It’s the assholes that make you hate consulting gigs. Trust me, I don’t do it for the money (mostly) - i do it to work with people and get insights into my designs and ideas. Why this post? Enraged, homicidal tendencies brought on by a prospective client from eight months back that wanted a design done(website). That was the first clue - he was too “busy” to put time into the initial planning. If it was the busy season then put a specific amount of time each day - 30 minutes would be sufficient. You would be surprised how that builds up over a period of time. Second clue, he wanted the design done NOW out of the blue. Third clue, the design he wanted was a throw back from the early 90’s - I knew I should have said goodbye. But I was willing to work to improve it so that maybe the design had a chance. Don’t you understand I do this because I love design? Fourth clue, it wasn’t about the design however great but the bottom line - money. It would be no big deal - I understand, but to put it fucking mildly - that was fucking cheap - i get yelled at. Maybe that’s the problem. Eh whatever, Headaches, OYE!
