Email Signatures

So, a client emails me, requesting signatures for their Outlook. I upload the images to the server, and send them the html files. Everyone installs it without any problems whatsoever, except for the MD.

So, after a running through the process on the phone with him, the signature is setup in Outlook. Ten minutes later I receive a email from him saying his emails are still blank.

I connect remotely to his machine, and while he did setup the signature correctly in Outlook, he's actually using Windows Mail.

"Why didn't you tell me you're the only one in the company not using Outlook?"

"I didn't think it was relevant"

HTML Newsletters

A client of mine asks me to design a html newsletter for him, based on a pdf. The security on the pdf prevents me from copying out the text, but the images I can grab without a problem. I convey that fact to his Sales Manager. Twice.

So .....after emailing me 12 mB's of images, none of which were actually used in the pdf.... I still don't have the text.

Another day.... another step closer to alcoholism

Sunday afternoon naps

To my dear neighbors. The next time you give you children sugar and allow them to run around and scream like banshees at 1pm on a Sunday afternoon, they will be sold into slavery.

Thank you. That's all.

Chevy and Violent Femmes

So, I'm vegitating infront of the tv, when to my horror a Chevy advert appears with Violent Femmes' Blister in the Sun playing in the background.

Sacrilege!!!!

Whatever coke sniffing marketing executive came up with this idea should spend eternity being dragged behind the car through broken glass in hell.

English motherfucker! Do you speak it?

Windows Updates

When I tell Windows Updates, "Restart Later" I mean I'll restart when I'm good and damn ready. Do not remind me every 5 minutes. Who designed this? Stoned Chimps?

Deadlines

Don't you just love it when a client phones you half an hour after a deadline for a magazine advert, to tell you you have to design one.
