Client: If I get everything to you by 10am on Monday morning can you do the job by 5pm that day?
Me: Err, but I said the job would take 12 hours.
Client: Yeah, but we need it done urgently.
Me: I know, that’s why you agreed to give us the go ahead for the job a week ago and we said we would do it by today.
Client: Yeah, but we couldn’t sign it off until today.
Me: Well could you provide all the files and brief today so we could get started before Monday.
Client: No, I’m really busy today and I don’t work weekends.
Me: No, I understand, who would want to work weekends, I apologise for suggesting that. Far be it from me to intrude on your schedule. Whereas, I’m sitting here eagerly awaiting your call so I can actually do some work. So, you are suggesting I do 12 hours work in 7 hours, would you like me to fire up the Tardis or perhaps reconfigure the Flux Capacitor to make this happen for you?
Client: Yeah, if you could do that, it would be great!
Me: You’re an idiot.
Client: What was that?
Me: I said that we’ll be able to have it done by Tuesday lunchtime.
Client: Okay, great. We’re not going live until Friday, so that should work.
[End phone call]
Me: Motherfuckaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
