AMC’s senior vice president of scripted programming Sharon Tal Yguado is quoted in the release as saying, “I wish all programming decisions were no brainers like this one.”

So you’re sitting in the office. It’s Friday and it’s ‘round about 4PM and you get a phone call: “We want to change everything to Papyrus. Didn’t you see Avatar? Everyone knows Papyrus. We’ve decided that we want Papyrus.” After several minutes of attempting to get the client to budge, you hang up. You must change everything to Papyrus or face not making the rent this month.
So what do you do? Some designers might start crying or yelling or bleeding. Others might take out their anger by setting up elaborate traps for their interns. But what do you do? You reach for a Clients From Hell stress ball.
These babies are going to stop you from killing your clients each and every time they ask for Comic Sans, Papyrus, or reject your invoice outright. Don’t kill your clients, buy a stress ball from the new CFH store.
Create a 4-day work week. The benefits are a happier team, increased efficiency and easier recruiting.
