Welcome To The Real World

is what was said to me by the clients towards the end of an unnecessary long and waste of time of meeting I had earlier this evening.

This job started its production on Tuesday, supposedly ending by 27th April (Friday).
Now they say they want it done by this coming Monday. All of it. All 5 of it.
I feel like beating someone up with a stick.

Not to sound sexist but, the staff of clients, which were quite a number of them were all female. They did not seem like they knew what they want. They sure as hell did not seem like they knew the objectives of their own work and yet still could act like they were in control. There goes my weekend. All I know is, I will not entertain their last minute changes or the usual "I think I've changed my mind on the design, make another."

Why are these people who are not really in the creative industry, taking other people's work to submit in a competition as their own? Surely it has to be somewhat unethical or against some contract or copyright issues with the original creators and owners of the media being submitted.

I had to wait until I got home before releasing all my angers and frustrations. I felt like making dents in cars parked outside the office building by initiating flying kicks on them.
