[At our initial meeting with the client]

Client: “When can you have the website live?”

Me: “Well, looking at our calendar and available dates, I think we should have it completed no later than the 8th of June.”

Client: “Okay, well that’s too late - we definitely need the website live by the end of May.”

Me: “Well, today is Friday and the last working day of May…”

Client: “Look, if you can’t stick to simple deadlines, then this isn’t going to work.”
