Client: The VP did a three hour speech that needs to be cut down to 30 minutes and I need a VHS on my desk in a half hour.
Me: I can’t possibly make that deadline. Also, are you sure you don’t want a DVD?
Client: You are so negative! Why can’t you do it?
Me: I can’t cut down a 3 hour speech in a half an hour. Even if I could it would take me more then 30 minutes to make the VHS and spot check it. It can’t be done.
Client: You always have an excuse. I need that VHS now.
I finished the VHS in four hours. It sat on the clients desk for a week before I received this e-mail:
Received your VHS (late!). Why is this on tape instead of DVD?
