No one appreciates the bullshit a lot of design jobs turn into that have become classics.

Granny dies 12 times. My new iMac blew up and I have to install everything. My phone dead. ICQ not working for 3 weeks. My email hacked. Among countless other classics many paying clients have heard over the years.

On a real world side note, I am sure that the models working for me would LOVE to get 50% of the pay at the interview prior to work. They would then "promise" to show up for photo shoot and commitment to work. They would of course right? Oh, and be on time?



I can only imagine that my cleaning lady, lawn care dude, drive way plow driver, handy man doing construction on my house the past two years would all love to get 50% down before they ever lifted a finger. The quality of the work, and timeliness, would be spot on I am sure.
