Writer's Block: Venting

[linnhie]

A client who has had three months to provide info for a website, but who waited until the last minute then sent me nearly 40 emails over three days, and is now hassling mne because it's not done yet.

Snarl!!!

You do know how to pick 'em, sunshine...

Who'd have guessed, eh!

At least the next client won't be a pain in the buttocks!

Let me say it for you: bastard!!!!!

[linnhie]

Thank you!!!

What's mnost annoying is that she knows I'm still sort of learning, so even it if it were possible to do in a couple of days, it was always going to take me longer!

But she's dependent on me to do this, so I'm taking as long as I like! ;)

I can't understand that behaviour either. Some of our customers know exactly that their task needs many months/even years, but they held back any award of contract till it's nearly impossible to get ready in time...It's weird!

A silly question... Why 'writer's block'?
I've seen it now on several occasions...

In this woman's case, that is the way she works, apparently. Very slapdash and hpahazard. I'm having to question every email because it's all totally random and in no order. She'll send me a photo, but doesn't say what it's of, or what it goes with.

I think it's really thoughtless of anyone who behaves like that - no consideration for the other person at all :(

("Writer's block" is when a writer gets stuck for an idea and can't get on with their story as their imagination just seems to freeze up.)

No... I mean what has writer's block to do with silly clients? :-)

Oops! Sorry!

Today's "Writer's block" question was: What's the most annoying thing that happened to you this week?

Don't you get a daily writer's block question on your LJ Home Page?

That's what all these responses are to. The question has now changed to "How many languages do you speak?"
