[thelist] Client troubles

[Tom Dell'Aringa]

That is definitely an unreasonable reaction. Boy, I remember when I
worked from home and would deliver a cost estimate, and I knew it was
fair, and I KNEW the client would object because, pardon my french,
they were idiots.

I guess it goes with the territory, but I had that piece of land. Not
much you can do but educate them as best you can. Pretty tough in a
tight economy.
