This time next week I'll be away on my travels too. Why is it (insert name of Law here), that just as you try to wind things down to enable you to get away with a modicum of sanity, clients / customers decide that, before you go, there's just this MAJOR piece of work that needs doing...

... and "if you could just fit that in before you go..."  ::).  Next week looks like being manic / mental / stupid / rushed / exasperating...  Banghead
Because they are arseholes...  noooo:

Indeed. But thankfully arseholes with cheque books ...  lol:  And believe me, by October 31st there'll be some invoices with buggeration quotient factored in big time...  eveilgrin:

Aha... which makes me think....

Over lunch today, client mentions he'd texted (sp) his daughter, mistakenly on her land line. Daughter's phone subsequently delivered the message as 'speech'  eeek:

Can you 'do' slurred text? And how will it sound?  eeek:
