Let's play SNAP [ The All New Bitchy Edition ]

It's been a long week... and many a time during its course, I would get interruptions from various people who would break into my schedule and disrupt my work. It's inevitable, but somehow, it is happening way too often. "Can you do this? Can you change that? I need it urgently..." Thing is... I am starting to doubt their words... Do you really need to change it? [ I am the designer! I know when it comes to aesthetics ok?!! ] Is it really urgent? Hmm... The line has already begun to get fuzzy... Urgent? But what kind of standards? The time that you go for lunch? When you knock-off? Your own standard, when the dead-line is way off from it, so that you get time to decide which alternative to show your client? [By the way, lets just fix on 1 or the most 2 variations. If the clients are hell indecisive... Set them up with a consultation and talk to them and squeeze all that they want out of them. If they still don't know what they want... Please make a judgmental call... or show them samples of works of different styles... Make sure they cough up something... Cos I cannot handle a pointless and direction-less search for their design answer. Last resort... Put them up with me.] Back to dead-lines... The truthful dead-line? Yes, the life and death kind? Ok... That's the one we are looking at... I will prepare things ahead of time... If I had the luxury of time! Just that, with most of the situations that you guys leave me in... I don't have that kinda luxury... Not especially when these folks submit their request 1 day ahead of their "judgment day"... [ Note: The paper stated 1 WEEK ok?!! Get that into your thick skulls.] The Jack-rabbit from Hong Kong... You are guilty of that... and you jolly well know it... And... So tell me what you want... What you really really what... Hey! Tell me what you want... What you really really what? [Hums the Spice Girls tune... Ahem... Ok... That was so unposh.] From now I think I best ought to stick to my 1 week in advance rule... or else I'd be constantly up to my neck trying my best to satisfy "their" dead-lines... I know it's important... But if you are not doing the work... shut it... It's not as easy as it seems. Don't these dumb-nuts understand?!! Well... Not especially, when your "NEW" computer is also Slow and there are more than one goon-dus that come along and "happily" add on to your load each time you wait for the lousy confounded computer to render the image... Maybe, that's why they called "Dead-lines" that... You get piled with so much, that you konked out at the end of the day. And what's with it when people don't answer the phone?!! The stupid asses in the office pile our poor receptionist with work that requires her to move around and half the time she's not in her desk... And the phone just goes on ringing happily... Much to the ignorance of many of the souls around... ARE YOU ALL DEAF?!! If anyone reads this from the company... Please pick up the phone if you can ok? I got a good reason why... First, I am OVERLOADed with all your LAST MINUTEs demands and my freaking phone is incapable of transferring any calls due to a technical boo-boo... Just try me for one more week and I'd snap!!! And I mean it!!!
