Punching Bag!!!

Well, had a meeting with a client yesterday after completion of a project! Expected it to go really bad, which usually happens, when clients have to pay you!!! I really do not know why whenever someone has to pay you, they make you feel as if you are being paid for charity!!!! It goes like this " there were some flaws and its not as we expected, but still we need to pay you your fees."

It hurt, hurt like hell. Cause I did my best, with a dominating contractor, who felt he could make the final call, and went about finger pointing ( as he keeps saying "I d'ont mean to point fingers" ), who also decided he could change details whenever he felt like. And a pair of egoistic site supervisors, who tried to get better than the other. Consultants who did not cross check at site. And to top the list, a client who is just a grown up version of a "spoiled brat" (who loves to make a grand entry, and almost never notices you, it almost seems that you are chameleon, camouflage into the surroundings ,which include display units and mirrors, so left to your imagination what my outfit would be, and possible so much of silver blusher, silver highlighter and not to mention a silver lipstick to camouflage into the mirror!!!!!!).

But maybe, from all of my 95% dedication to the whole thing the 5% that I did not give, did give some flaws to the whole output. And at the end of the day, you are just the "punching bag" for everybody to vent their frustrations on!!!

I learnt an important lesson, give your 100%, you will still be "THE PUNCHING BAG"
