Woooosh
rge4seesr··on The Orange Juice Test (1985)
Sorry, I would have told the client no. Sure, it's technically possible to have the freshly squeezed orange juice ready at 7am. But it's not just a matter of cost. It's also more likely something will go wrong. And your business may not be able to afford having something go wrong.

Plus, a client asking for something like this - that's a huge red flag that the person asking is going to be very demanding, very clueless, or both. The kind of client that won't be happy with anything you do, and won't be easy to work with.

Our business culture is always teaching us to say yes. But there are some real assholes out there. For your own wellbeing, say no more often. Stand up for yourself. This guy can squeeze his own oranges.

Edit: I should add - it's even more of a red flag when your client does things to "test" you. Sounds like the kind of person who doesn't respect your professional ability, and won't trust you to do your job.

rge4seesr··on Facebook has ended the ability to automatically post Tweets to profiles or pages
Too bad. My favorite part about Facebook was the false assertions that shooting victims were paid actors, and the never-ending torrent of twitter's recycled hashtag spam.
