My grocery store epiphany about client revisions
Standing in the checkout line at Kroger last Tuesday, I watched a cashier void and re-ring the same order three times for a coupon issue, and it hit me that my clients are doing the same thing when they move deadlines, so now I ask for the final scope in writing before I even open my laptop, anyone else found a weird everyday moment that suddenly made a freelance headache make sense?

The whole "void and re-ring same order three times" thing hit way too close to home, except my clients don't even have a coupon to show for it, just a new deadline. I swear half my job is just nodding while someone explains why "final" means something different today than it did yesterday. At this point I'd pay extra for a cashier-style "manager override" button on my contracts, lol.
