Gosh, Thanks For The Heads-Up

A client asks me to design several logos. I write up the contract, and he signs it and sends me the money right away. I get to work immediately and send him a few rough drafts within a week.

Four months later, he writes back.

Client: “These look pretty good! Could you just make a few minor changes?”

No problem. I make the changes in two days. 

I don’t hear from him for another SIX MONTHS. 

Today, he called me to say that the logos are great, and he wants to move forward with packaging. 

At this point, I figure since he’s been so lackadaisical about getting back to me, I might as well put him on the back burner. 

Me: “Great! I have a few other projects going right now. I’ll turn that around for you in three weeks.”

Client: “Please start working on it immediately. I want it done by the end of the week.”

What the h***?
