I’m very particular about my clients these days. In fact I’ve not had one for quite some time now. Most of my work involves advertising, sales and ready-made freelance projects which I’ll auction off.
Either you like my work or you can go suck ass (Malay translation that’s hisap pantat gua). Yeah you can tell by the tone of my message that I’ve had bad experiences with clients previously … it just makes my blood boil to the core-dot-com just thinking about it.
So when a fellow designer asked me to help him out, well I was trying my best to get out of it. He was busy with his other clients and wants to retain this new client but using my expertise.
Well unfortunately I owe him a favor and I can’t say no. Anyway I told him that I’ll talk to the client first if the job requirement is up to par with my capabilities, and this meeting by no means is a yes to taking up the job offer.
My friend also told me the client is cute. So I asked how sure he was of it. He was told by a friend of a friend, who is a friend of a friend and a friend of a friend who told him that and recommended him this client … bleah so confusing right, and as you can tell, such six degrees of separation always turn out bad.
So at the meeting, my assumption was proved wrong and indeed the client was cute, muahaha *evil grin*. Oh the client happens to be someone from my old school. What a small place Singapore is eh. The thing is we don’t actually mingle in the same circle of friends back then. I was with the loser group, and she quite the popular girl in school.
The client actually wanted to setup a blogshop. It’s actually a pretty easy to do such a project, but I extended the meeting time to bullshit my way through it so as to probe more questions about her, muahaha x10.
Hey she had no ring on her fingers … as they say, all’s fair in war and love right.
I’ll think I’ll accept the job, just this time round I’m making an exception. Yeah call me MCP … this uncle is single, desperate and a dude. I’ve my needs lah, so please understand :p
I’m beginning to agree the notion that things are easier when you’re good looking.
hahaha… yes…u r a MCP!!!! but at the same time.. can understand the reason as to y u r behaving in such a way well… when pple r desperate and single…they will do anything.. :) hahahah…
bt nevertheless… i feel that… gd looking pple have it easier, no matter hw annoying or dumbass these gd looking pple are, they will still be “xcused” and make into an exception pasal when one see these gd looking pple, hati akan lembut and all the frustration and anger and stress in oneself seems to melt away like butter… hahaha… after all they say, “benda yang cantik menyejukkan mata and also hati”.. hahaha… :)
