Don't you love them?
For months I've had a floppy disk duplication project in the pipeline. That's right, floppy disks. God knows why they want FDs, but they do.
Yesterday they e-mailed over the files that they want put on the FDs. Luckily I had the wit to add up the file sizes and they total - wait for it - 9Mb.

Had a classic yesterday... Informed Office Staff ( All Women ) that the our internet connection had gone down..
The response recieved was... "cant you just pick it back up?"
..No!
Can you not reload it?
..No!
Is the radio interfering with the wireless network it or was it because i was on my mobile?
...Argh! No!
..i left the office!

You'll need to have a basic understanding of print to appreciate this:
A few years back, we received a brief to design and print an annual report for a long standing charity client that was always strapped for cash. This particular annual report coincided with their 25th anniversay and I suggested that they go with a four colour version. It didn't cost that much more and would really make a splash. After much deliberation, they agreed.
I called in with some file copies of the smart-looking reports. They were delighted. My client then turned to me and said "I'm really pleased you convinced us to to go with the four-colour version...... and the way you've done, it looks like you've used ALL the colours!"
Bless.

Hi Steve
You wonder how they got their jobs don't you?!
Maybe you should have said '4 colour process' - but then again, I don't suppose it would have made much difference...
On the video front, I remember deciding that I would NEVER be able to get on with a particular client (a PR woman of the worst kind) when I had to explain what a one-second fade to black looked like...
Packet of half-tone dots anyone?
