After a fantastic day off yesterday, I was ready to go. And it’s a good thing, too — this mirror modelling job is due at 12:00 on Friday. <\/p>\n
Next time, I’ll need my client to be more specific sooner. The job has morphed quite a lot and overall will have taken about 4 times the original proposed time.
