Arrgghh! Once you've signed off on a project, and said "we're done"...
... shouldn't you at least feel a bit sheepish coming in two days later and saying, "Instead of A, B and C let's do D, E and F"????

It's like I'm dealing with someone with multiple-personality disorder!

Can I please speak with the OTHER version of you, the one who had no further edits to make when we last spoke?

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

</end rant>

Thank you for letting me vent. :(

1. That's when the little clause that reads:
"9a) Work above and beyond that specified in this quote will be billed at our standard rate of $_________ /hour"

comes in handy

2. Oh, how I wish. Unfortunately, it's my own bat-shit crazy boss.
And he signs my paycheck. Which is why I vent on you guys here in the Lounge first, then come up with more diplomatic language to explain the nuances of production cycles to him! I'm glad you're an easy-going bunch!

:hi:

6. I guess these types show up in every industry.
Today he's using e-mail like a stream-of-consciousness diary. Every thought that pops into his head gets its own separate e-mail -- seven so far, and it's not even 11am yet on the East Coast.

:crazy:
