You know what's funny?

When a kinda new client who has been trying to beat you down on price all week, gloating how another printer can halve your prices, rings at 8pm Friday night wanting a job delivered by 9am the next morning.

Smart guy just got a lesson in the quality/price/speed matrix.

he's in Australia, 8pm is actually 9am in the morning.... too early to be handing out beers

Never to early for Beers Tex

Man, those are only good if the customer learns their lesson, turns out to be a good dude, and has no problem paying sky high prices for a rush job for being a turd the first time.

He is about 13 hours ahead of us in the US so Bly has already accomplished his customer's work, been paid, had a vegemite sandwich and a beer by this time.

Heck, it's probably November by this time over there. Time flies when you're having fun, such as the title indicates.

Ohh, and to keep it straight, I do believe he was referring to 8pm HIS time. Which breaks down to ANYBODY's 8pm on a Friday night.

That is funny!

Well yeah. I only answered because the number wasn't in my contacts.

When he rang back half an hour later I didn't answer.

This is the I don't turn the shop light on for less than $$$$$$$$ moment. We have a client that is perpetually that way, so it's 5x as much as our normal rush.
