Interesting....

Will have to give this a try sometime

[Speakman]

I think I will as well, been waiting 6 weeks for a tshirt now (why THE FUCK did I choose the cheapest option with USPS international???), pretty much written it off as a loss...

[Benji77]

6 weeks? thats way to fucking long. Should be a month at the most.

I went with the cheapest USPS option and it took just over 2weeks to get here.

[Speakman]

yup, exactly what I've been thinking

indie merch store, if you are watching this, eat a dick. I want my bearded skull tshirt

Spoiler :

[Spork]

Not too bad, Origin. (speeds, don't care for the game).

EDIT: Yet Youtube takes about ten years to load a five minute video.

Wait till it gets to 95%, then time start going backwards.

20 seconds remaining.

4 minutes remaining.

Client says mockup design is brilliant, glowing feedback, offers a few minor mods and gives OK to proceed.
Designs website pixel perfect to the mockup.
Client says she hates it and wants to start again, is also not happy to pay any extra. Gives me a URL to a fucking awful site.

FML. People are cunts. Think I might become a serial killer.

Lol I don't miss that side of the design world at all.

Sometimes it sucks because you can't say goodbye because then you say goodbye to a paying client.

However, slash their fucking tires and sacrifice their first born.

Also; free da pedos.

As a client, I would say, "That's exactly what I wanted!"

Then I would recommend the web designer to my friends.

I know right. It seems no matter what I do to cover my arse (full mockups, long detailed planning, contracts outlining revisions, forms etc) the general public just has a way of being utter dicks.
Mostly people are cool but it seems lately every second client is a nightmare. I think perhaps this industry has had the better of me.
I just applied for a few jobs back home, I'm out. Last straw.

Totes.
I can let go of a design if they are being too dickky, fussy and generally misinformed but once I have designed and coded a site, I've dropped maybe 40hours.
Then I am stuck either doing another 25 for free or losing the lot.
Ironically despite all my rage, I keep getting referrals because I am good to work with :/

Where does one apply for such a website?

I could do it for you at a set quote! Give me as much info as you can, I'll design a mockup in illustrator. We do two rounds of revisions, then I spend a week building the site, then you fuck me in the arse and refuse to pay!

Sound good?

The last part does.

[Spork]

You should never fuck Rico in the ass and forget to pay.

[Emrico1]

That's the part I get the most cash for :/

Then suddenly a request for a quote on a brand with some clear direction and an exciting project.
This one won't suck I tell myself.

Lerl.

Client has had me design an A2 poster totaling something like 5hrs of work. It should be a 1-2 hr job at most. Keeps asking for changes then negating those changes by asking for what was there in the first place. Keeps asking for stupid alterations that even a child should be able to see wont work along with ignoring my advice that what he's asking for goes against brand protocol.

Wants 10 x A2's printed and on the courier by 4:30pm.

Just told him to forget it, you missed the deadline.

Feels good mang.

I love being told how long it takes to do a job by someone who has no idea how long it would take or how to do it... Love it. FUCKING LOVE IT.
This, my friend is a win for us all.
