Do i need money this badly?
Yesterday I went to a meeting with someone who had already bugged me. She's a designer that wanted me to sit in with her meeting with her client about some copywriting. She had bugged me on a prior project by just being, well, a dick. She gave me 'notes' on the copy I was writing for her client. Now of course if she feels that she has to say something about the copy because her client is not being served, fair enough, but really, she actually said to me: "too many adjectives."
Er, thanks.
Then she went and told the client the same thing. Clients have soft little brains that are easily lead-able. And she led them. *Sigh*
Anyway, long story short I'm already a tad fed up with her, but she calls me into a potential money situation, so who am I to say no right? Only she just continues to do things that bug my shit. Like showing me the proposal she wrote (so I'd know what the fuck the meeting was about) but deleting the estimate page so I won't find out how much she's billing (like I give a fuck as long as I�ve been paid).
And she said "remember don't give them your business card" which is standard operating procedure if you�re subbing out work to another contractor, you don�t want him to bring his card in and confuse your client. But you see, I already KNOW THIS because I did not just open my business last Wednesday!!
Then. THEN at the end of the meeting while I�m chatting and being charming with the client, putting their minds at ease after 2 hours of telling them why their ideas are shite, I made the comment that they should trust us because "I'd make everything sound great and the designer would make them pretty." flippant and of course a bit self deprecating but nice and harmless right? Well not according to her who just gave me what for "I do a lot more than just that you know, and I don't appreciate those comments.... insulting.... blah blah fucking blah."
So I just gave her a quote on the work. And I made it large enough to choke a rhino. Either she'll tell me to fuck off (I hope).
Or she'll pay it.
Either way I�ll feel fine.
