coldfire3407248d"Hey, the client wants to have a call about a small change before delivery"
"Let's just do it later" -
IntrusionCM15197248dI call it the 75 % rule.
Either do a job fully or leave it as it is.
It always ends badly to do a job only up to 75 % and then leave it unfinished.
Badly in the sense of "exponential more work later that could have been prevented".
Just do it once properly -
shovethisrant5906245d@coldfire honestly clients be a lot like that one asshole member in a group project that never does any work but always criticizes everything. And I know that person bc that used to be me lol.

Weeeee! *riding the public service roller-coaster into a brick wall* -
shovethisrant5906245d@scor probably gonna be in Germany this winter so I’ll make sure to give that coaster a good college try
I have such little patience for the whole fucking “let’s just do it later” mentality anymore. Especially when it takes like 30 minutes or less to fix. Then a month goes by and everyone suffers from it not being fixed. Like I understand why they do so and why it’s important to just do the task. I understand there’s often no time to make huge improvements, but if you have time and you see a small thing that can be fixed, make improvements you silly little bump-on-a-log. Like have a little empathy for your comrades goddamnit.
