Client: Can you lower that estimate?
Client: I know you’ve done, but can you make all this stuff behave this particular way on smaller screens, despite it not being in spec?

Me: *internal sigh* sure.

The perils of newly being a contractor and wanting to please.

At least I’m working from home and the money is good I suppose 😂

This is where you send a new invoice for the additional work.

@SVTJASE - what this guy said 😎

People-pleasing is an expensive and ultimately pointless hobby. Please find another.

Aaaand now I’ve slipped the invoicing deadline because despite having my timesheet since yesterday afternoon, and knowing full well I need it approving before a certain time on a certain day every week, the authoriser isn’t in the office until after that time, and I’ve not been able to get hold of them.

*sigh*

And yeah, I get the point about telling them to get fucked and finding other clients, but it’s pretty difficult around here to find clients willing to do remote working, and it’s good money. Just a bloody ball ache when things don’t go the way you expect them to.
