Hey, is this unconference also open to Joburg Flying Solo members? I need a good excuse to visit CT and would love to get together with the Flying Solo community again!
I'd love to know who this photographer is - I'd be sure not to use her!

I sent it registered mail on 9 November.

- Hi Madeline,
Great meeting you - and I love your remark about 'Is the customer always right?' Knowing me a little better now you will have guessed I get a bit snarky with those folk and talk 'magenta' until they turn to 'You're the expert!' type attitude and let me get to first draft at least.
Please phone me on 011 432 3651 I'd love chat a bit more with you on this subject.
God bless. JRB §;0)

The project has already cost me 58 hours of hard work ( a lot more time than I was budgeting for), so the fact that she expects me to go and fetch disks with artwork etc. for no added cost… Continue

So you send the customer some copy for review. They send back a quite a few rewords and changes. No problem. They are the customer. But they've made a faux pas or two. Like quoting their slogan after every mention of their company name in each parag…
