Well Doug, as we said many times on this forum, you gotta know when to fire them ! Right now luckily I have 2 clients..one very un-demanding, the other...well, let's just say they're "all political". The latter is one of the largest computer services company in the country...with many large government contracts (that'a a key !). They threw me into a software project they had managed where there was : -no requirements documents -no design documents -no technical documentation -no code review was ever performed Then BEFORE a code assessment was performed, they signed a fixed-price contract with the client with an fixed deadline. After I reviewed the code and found few comments or misleading comments, I told them this was a "total rewrite". They refused to accept that. As I mentioned before on this forum, this is likely my last "stinker". After 3 years of trying, I have been unable to get a long-term contract....takes no genius to determine the reason for that. > tasks and priorities: > > Task 1 'soon as possible' > Task 2 'soon as possible' > Task 3 'soon as possible' > Task 4 'next Friday' > Task 5 'soon as possible' > Task 6 'next Tuesday' > > Aren't clients fun!
