After several hours on chat with Mr. Anderson, a run in with the DMCA, myspace, and a dead beat client I have decided to start collecting stories of Designer/Client relations.
Seriously, I know you have one (either your own or a "friend's"). Share them, share them. Use pseudonyms and euphemisms if necessary, but lets see if we can find the worse ever client story.
Do you have a nervous habit?

I bite my cuticles and talk a lot more than usual when I'm nervous.
Do you remember learning fun little acronyms for the nine planets?
Sad, but true, Pluto is no longer deemed worthy to be a planet. And to add insult to injury, they have already found our beloved Pluto's replacement. Bastards.
I will miss you Pluto, planet number nine, god of the underworld. We will all miss you.
And in your honor, some happy hardcore "unt untz" :
In keeping with the love/hate relationship that our generation has with the 80's; I bring you the best, "I'm gonna hate myself for this later" way to truely come to terms with this internal conflict.
I hope you all can forgive me.... that is, if you choose not to love me.
Right at this moment- these are the ones I am 'least' embarased about admitting to loving.
well - sort of
of course if you knew why this graced my favorites....
What is your current computer desktop image? Let's see it!
I miss thunderstorms more than I could possibly describe....
My pal, Justin, introduced to Voxtrot, which has quickly become some of my favorite music...
I've also realized that I am more sensitive these days to the lyrics of songs that I am ingesting.
Not joking... check it out!
I usually have a cardinal rule about not using my photo as my profile image or even associated with an on-line profile. Vox is the first time I broke that rule, and to be fair, it was in large part due to the smallness of the audience. But it is also because I am (reluctantly) growing more use to having my photo show up on line via flickr, etc. My defenses have been weakened...
And here lies the problem. I made a horrible mistake. I posted photos of myself to my myspace page. Now mind you, I didn't make the mistake of making either of those two photos as my profile photo... but the damage is done, none the less.
In my defense, I found a friend of mine from england and didn't want him to see a bunch of vinyl toys and not make the connection to my name... blah, blah, blah. Still, dumb.
Within sort order I received a slue of messages and/or invites. (note: I have 17 [total] friends on myspace... this is not a service I utilize) Most were fairly innocuous friend requests (or at least I chose to receive them that way) but one was a blatant chat up and one was a direct link to this:
"Top Myspace girls looking there best in lingerie, Sexy clothes, and top designer clothes! Win $100 a day and enjoy on-line dating meet your perfect match today."
Yucky! So perhaps this little rule of mine will be followed more closely from now on. In the mean time I'm going to go find some lingerie, Sexy clothes, and top
designer clothes to look hott in...
How fantastic to live somewhere again where anything over 73°F is a scorcher.
For those poor sorry bastards elsewhere, I hope you are managing to stay coolish.... wahhaha!
