clients suck. at least some of them do.

So I'm sitting here.

Waiting.

Sitting here with nothing to do because a client postponed their edit session. Again. They wanted this emergency edit session to update their spots and I made time. "Sure, Monday morning will be fine" I told them.

So Monday comes. But my client is a no-show.

Hmmm.

So I call her around 11-ish, "Hey, just checking to see if you're OK..." I say. "Oh, I'm running late" she says.

No shit dumb fuck, that's why I'm calling.

"So do you have an ETA?" I ask. "Well," she says, "I'm just getting some last minute things taken care of before I go on vacation. Are you free this afternoon?"

She knows that if I'm open I'll say sure. I'm a nice guy. "Yeah the afternoon will be fine. Can you get here around 2:00?" I like to go home at 5:30 like I'm scheduled. Why work late if you're on salary?

"That sounds great, I'll be there at 2:00."

2:00 comes and goes. Frustration settles in. I just want to get the job done. But I'm not gonna call her. I'm tired of fucking around with her. I don't mind people being late, but this is a total lack of respect.

So 4:30 rolls around and she calls. "I'm sorry, I'm not going to be able to make it. What about tomorrow?"

So much for the emergency.

"Sure, Tuesday morning, 9:00am."

"Great, I'll be there."

So today is Tuesday. I walk in to my office and check my voicemail. It's her saying that now her bosses (or clients, I haven't figured out her position in this whole thing) wants to come and give approval to the new spots. they can't make it to 2:00 in the afternoon.

I call her back to find out WTF is going on, and confirm they'll be here at 2:00.

Will they show? Will I be nice, or do I go postal?

I just want to be done.

So I'm waiting.
