If it's any consolation, we know how you feel...
That's for sure. If you think this one is bad, wait til ya get into doing signs for churches, private organizations and auxiliaries. Sheesh, then you'll have something to b!tch about. That's where I got my practice of dealing with committees.
We had one a few weeks ago, where it went round and round and no one would make a decision. I asked them why they were including me in all of these e-mails ?? They said to keep me in the loop. Ya know, reading that crap, made me dizzy and realize once again, for the umpteenth time how really stoopid people are. They were more worried about negative space, than I was for a change. I told them early on, here's the logo, play with it til your heart's content. It took about 3 weeks until the finally decided. We want it to be 15" x 38". Sorry, but if I make it that size, it's gonna be clumsy to build. Can we make it 37" ?? That took another week until they all gave it their blessings. So, it took over a month to decide on the specs, but they wanted me to drop everything and build this cabinet that week. Yeah well, the money is good, but they didn't pay me for the sizing of it. They played around like little kids at a show & tell show. Funny part is, this is replacing one we did about 6 months ago, in which they gave me the specs without involving me and then redid it..... and essentailly, that's what they did this time. With any luck, I might get another one to do in 6 more months. LOL
