Really busy so I've just read a few lines and ditto! Will read later. Yup. Cleaning bill for non-cleaning. That's another issue here. Great little earner that one.

Got a 'client' going ga-ga on me. Designed ad advert for them to go in a magazine.

"Can you take the logo off?"

Apparently it interferes with the message. I mean look, just fuck off. I have wasted a good couple of hours on emails since yesterday telling them they are talking out of their council gritters and even more time doing endless versions of the advert when I should have just told them to shit off from the outset. Time wasters.

Keep on charging for every alteration.

Isn't the kind of thing you describe par for the course? It is for me(!)

There is nothing worse than timewasters.I  just passed up on some work because the clients are idiots and will not listen to good advice and insist on throwing their money away plus there was a property management company involved as well who are properly fucked up who i refuse to deal with in any capacity so i just walked away from it.

Less work and less cash but most importantly less hassle.

I generally give two alterations for free and then start charging a fiver for each subsequent alteration. This started after I did something for one client who kept on saying things like "Excellent! Can we try it in blue?" and "Perfect! How would the lettering look in green?" etc.

We do the same thing with planning reports - one meeting and one set of reasonable revisions for free (inclusive, really), then charge for every meeting/revision after that.  Focuses the mind, we find.

Try and keep positive because it will change and it is changing but it wont happen overnight and anyway it will change permanently as soon as everyone stops voting for these muppets as ultimately its the people that are to blame so they all need to wake up which they seem to be doing in large numbers.

Having a positive outlook is very important because remember that "they" want you to feel hopeless and depressed and disenfranchised.

...and that the only way you'll feel better is by buying stuff.

Thanks for the comments about my 'client' woes, people. Working on my own, I can stew on these things.

One remark made is that they would like to "get an opinion from a professional marketeer" [ie bullshitter].

What, to say "you are correct, you don't need your logo on your advert"?

How draining.

As the good Captain Beefheart said: "Somebody had too much to think."

Thank God I have some work to do at a company tomorrow.
