Well, it's official. I did not get a piece printed in time to turn in for school. Asshole. Tuesday he calls me and there is a problem: he thought the postcards were supposed to be 6 x 4 instead of 8.5 x 5.5. I double-checked this over and over and over with him. The 6 x 4 cards were supposed to be the ones to send to individuals (I haven't done them yet because he hasn't sent the picture he wants on it) and the larger ones were for lawyers and professional types of people. I think he had a price in his head and they were for the smaller ones and when he want to order them he realized how much more money they were and tried to change them at the last minute. Either that or it's his memory problem I once again think he has. Anyway, I got an email today from the printer (not him, the printer) telling me that they didn't make it into this week's run because the client didn't bother setting up a paypal account beforehand (the only way he takes credit cards) and since he hadn't received payment, he couldn't print them. *sigh* The bright side is if I have to take this class over, at least I'll know to dump the client early if he/she shows signs of doing this to me again, right?
UPDATE: gee, look what my horoscope for today was:
Virgo
You knew everything was going along a little too smoothly and today you finally hit that bump in the road you knew was coming. There are inevitable setbacks to deal with, but luckily they are much more minor than you may have anticipated. Standing a few feet back from the wreckage will allow you to get a little better perspective on what might have caused the problem. Once you know how this breakdown happened, it will be much easier to avoid a similar incident in the future.
