What do people generally think of clients?
One of them had a pop at me yesterday - I replied defending myself and had a subtle pop at him. There were about two emails back and forth where I was destroying him and goes crying to my manager telling him that he didnt like the ‘tone’ of my mails. I got the resulting bollocking from the manager and had to send your man a grovelling apology. How is that right?
Well i gave a file into the manager a while ago and he flicked through it and started asking was X Y and Z, done. He wasnt too happy when i told him “no.” So what! Youre not even American!
I was so pissed i had to go for an expensive haircut to de-stress.
She was a real putz cutting my hair; she grabbed a random tuft of my hair and asked “do you want this longer” - NO BITCH, By virtue of the fac tthat i am in a barber means i want it shorter, no get earning that minimum wage!
rock, any thoughts? or are you not talking to me
Ah that’s hilarious. Fair play to you for not backing down originally but you do seem like a fool now having had to apologise like a girl. I would have kept correspondence off-line if at all possible. Instead you should have gone out to a public phone booth, rang the guy, called him a complete cooont and then vehemently denied it when he complained to your manager. I had a few dickhead clients (one Scottish prick in particular) but I always remained civil in emails. Probably best to tell your manager straight away next time this guy’s acting the dick and get their input before you go off and tear into him.
Couldn’t stop laighing at that Farmer. I presume it was the pre-Christmas job that you are having the trouble with as you seem to like your other client.
Will you forward me the emails?
Is that the guy on that job I was working with you on? He was more weird than anything else
Not going to mention his name because he may frequent the site 
That’s the chap alright.
One other bitch warned me that my previous employer would lose the audit if I didn’t buck up my ideas. This was in the midst of the summer 2005 Ashes series where I spent most of my afternoons in the pub watching it and the rest of my day reading the Guardian over-by-over reports on the web in the office.
All this while I was meant to be doing some boring, insignificant audit. They even had their discussions about getting new auditors minuted in their monthly senior management meetings. I had to laugh.
You are right BT.
I deleted all mails though in case someone came back to me. It wasnt even that bad. Apparently he is a senior manager and he thought he could walk all over me. He now knows that he can after my asslicking apology…
Were you rude straight out or were you sarcastic or what?
Don’t want to get into it here but will be happy to divulge all in person at some stage
