Client: “That font right there! It’s clean yet edgy. There’s no WAY I’ve seen that font before, I would’ve remembered! What font is that?”
Me: “Arial.”

Please
Please stop patronising me.
Stop being a bitch.
Stop being so whiny.
Stop being so self centred.

My little sister…arrrg.
She wants to throw a house party.
Please help…I don’t want to have to kill her.
But I never threw a house party. Never ever.
And I know she’s very easily persuaded by all her friends.
And she’s terribly naive, I mean really really really un-aware of what goes on in the world and how people really are.
…I’m going to have to...

Basically, I suck at actually doing things. In the last 45 mins, I have written my list, and done two things on it. Both involving minimal effort. I’m now blogging. Shit. I need to get off this thing.
Lists do not make life easier, they are just another way to procrastinate.

Me: “So what’s your budget?”
Client: “Well we are well known amongst all the Russian billionaires so there is great potential for you to get your name out there by doing this project for free. Also I am a direct descendant of Genghis Khan.”

We were presenting several print concepts to a national milk board, promoting milk as a healthy drink. Obviously a few of our concepts had pictures of cows in them, to which the client said: “NoNoNo, we can’t show cows in our ads.

Oh god. So glad I don't make websites. hahaha.

Client: “I want it to be like Facebook”
Me: “Did you have a budget in mind for this project?”
Client: “I need to get it done for under $500.”
“I want a Myspace type site for kids, like ages 1 to 5.”

Client (after telling me the idea for the website): How much will that cost?
Me: Well, you’ve given me a lot of info. I’d like to organize all of these ideas and get back to you with an appropriate quote.
Client: I’d like to get it going as soon as possible. How’s $250?
Me: Uh… that’s a little low. I’d feel more comfortable just giving you an official quote and we can see if...
