If you know the tv programme, 'Father Ted', you'll know what Father Jack has to say on the subject....
Nun-n-n-ns! (it's really funny if you know the programme!)
I went to catholic school as well. Some of those nuns were really scarey. One nun literally taped one kid's mouth shut. (I laugh to myself now at the absurdity of someone actually doing something like that!) I got the old knuckle rap and then the nun told my mum she didn't do it.
Oh well, there you go! There were some brilliant nuns as well...but some of them...Wow! _________________ Intuit and do it!

| You're quite right. My decision to take the job was based on the fact that the session was going to last 15 mins whereas encouraging the client to go away had already taken 4 emails and 3 phone calls. |

What's the current faff report, Sir Philip?
Were they mucking about with the fees? retakes? (chuh!!) usage? _________________ DBCooperVO.com

We agreed that every session would be my minimum fee so the boss asked if I would agree to do half sessions. I had to explain that "minimum session fee" WAS THE MINIMUM FEE FOR WHICH I WOULD DO "A SESSION".
Ok we were clear on that! If I made a mistake I would put it right at no cost, otherwise retakes, changes, additions would be charged at, guess what?
My minimum session fee! Day after the session I recieve the following email.
"Thank you for the great read.
An additional 37 words have been added to the script.
We deliver your home to your prepared site. It’s all ready for securing and landscaping, so that your new house becomes a home … with the quality and finish you can expect from Western Park Homes. (37 words)
If this needs additional payment, please let me know first, as I will have to check will the boss.
Regards"
For your additional information both the producer and the boss speak English as their first language! |

Philip,
Or, at least so they've told you. (Good grief! Faffing about, indeed.) _________________ Be well,
