What is it about some jobs which you should just never have started?
I recently had to frame a print for a customer. Routine, no problem you say?
Well here is the story:
1) I sent the wrong file version to my printer and didn't notice until I received the print;
2) My printer had run out of my favourite paper;
3) When the replacement print (from the correct file) arrived, it was damaged;
4) My frame supplier had run out of the size and type the customer wanted;
5) I broke the glass from the frame when framing the print;
6) The glass supplier cut the replacement glass to the wrong size;
7) After cutting the mount, I discovered a mucky mark on the white card;
8) Finally finished the job after three attempts to remove odd bits of fluff and hairs which were mysteriously invisible until I had taped up the frame.
:bang::bang::bang::bang::bang::bang:
That ******* job has cost me a fortune in glass, diesel and time.
On the plus side, the customer is well chuffed.
