My mantra for today: More revisions=more money. |
|
I'm having trouble remembering that and I'm getting REALLY annoyed every time this one client calls to change everything back to the way I had it two revisions prior, but just different enough that I can't simply send them the previous revision.

1. More cowbells, more moolah. |
|
Unless you work for free, every change you need to do should be paid. They should know. :hi:

2. They do know, and they pay without complaint. But sometimes I just want to get a |
|
project off my damn plate so I can move on to other things, or even (gasp) take an evening off. :)

3. Okay I just lost a project because this current one is taking so long. NOW I'm getting pissed. |
|
They just keep making idiotic revisions. I'm about to lose my fucking mind.

6. Save All Previous Versions. |
|
As a CAD guy I feel your pain. That is why I try to remember to save all previous revs until the final config is accepted and released. Even then I save my stuff. Rev history is strength.

7. Oh I do. I have every version of everything, even after the thing goes to print. Because you |
|
never know when a discarded version of something can be the perfect thing for something else. It's just that every time they reverted back to a previous layout, it was just different enough that I still had to make a bunch of changes. And they're still at it. What should have been done this morning at about 10 am is still going through revisions. I'm about to scream. Oh well, I guess that's 8 hours more money for me. :)
