Aud, it's true. I got this today...

We need a poster for our org tree. When I print it off it is 18 pages, 6 across and 3 down. Can you make us a poster this large? And if so, how much will it cost?
That's the ENTIRE body of the e-mail.

I got a work orer to post a printed piece onto our online catalog. So I e-mailed the client to ask where the piece's pdf version would be stored and when it would be released. He thought it lived on the internet and that all I had to do was post it's name and it would magically appear in pdf and printed form ... wha-ah??? -b-

As my ridiculous deadline week continues... here is my favourite (of many ridiculous things said to me this week).

"Isn't there just a button that close crops the photo for you?"

The reply I wish I could have made: "Yep, right next to the button that makes it pretty for me". (sarcasm)

*shakes head*

What I actually said: "Nope, with respect, if there was a button that did that you wouldn't pay me to be here at 10 o'clock at night, sir".

I can't picture you saying Sir.....

I'm sure the makers of "Make My Logo Bigger" cream could come up with some kind of spray or ointment for that tho.

I"m not even joking, that is literally word for word what I said to the boss.
He also looked shocked that I said sir. I just needed to make sure I wasn't sounding ungrateful about my job, but also make a point that he pays me for a reason.
So silly.
