Sat down with the Project Management team today to discuss a signage installation. This is how the conversation went...

Me: Right, so we need to get the hardware on-site asap so we can get this configured before it goes over to the production guys to have the facisa installed.
Them: That's fine we have plenty of time. Stop rushing things.
Me: Okay, so do we have the story board in place ready for development?
Them: Nope. Hasn't been done by the designer yet because he is in a bad mood.
Me: Okay so when does the client want this?
Them: 3 Weeks' time
Me: But it is atleast a week of dev time?
Them: Sure. But you can work late if needed...right?

This is a typical conversation between them and me. I'm the sole developer here. So done with today.

    My answer would have been like.. Bad mood?! Kick the designer moron in his lazy ass because I FUCKING won't work late just because he can't get his shit together!

    @Fast-Nop This is the same designer that can't be told if someone else in the office is ill (cough, cold - anything!) because he will magically become ill the following day. I don't usually wish bad things happen to someone - but this is different!

    @DarkVoyager Already on that path. Own my own business, just sticking this out to build for funds for security :)

    I feel your pain. Everyone else takes their sweet time getting the requirements and designs finalised and leave next to no time for development :/

    @ammadfa then leave them no developer.. lol move on and they can stick there late nights where sun does not shine.

    @ammadfa Yup, biggest problem is you're then rushed and, I know it shouldn't be an excuse, but you end up writing crappy code!
