Oh, and sending me screenshots. SCREENSHOTS of web applications and asking me to check if it meets accessibility guidelines. FFS.

Ooh, I've just seen a contract for a Designer role for an investment bank at around £500 a day - a job I could do in my sleep. But I bet it'd be more of the same.

And I'm in a contract at the moment, so that's a bit tricky.
Why do I always see good looking contracts while I'm in one?
I guess that's a bit like relationships really.

Reminds me of a small .com I worked for years ago always doing things like that - promising clients the earth to get the work then having mass champaign celebrations for 'selling ice to the Eskimos' after telling the devs they'd be pulling 60 hour weeks for the next months and be coming in on weekends to deliver what they'd just promised.

What do you mean, NO?'

So now I have to design a complete and utter bloody idiot-proof process for content coming from these evolutionary cul-de-sacs to reach our team, and to manage it in our team, and to report back from our team, ASAP before all of this spirals out of control and drives me insane.

I'm sure someone's done this before - I'll try and Google such a thing and see if I can simply 'adapt' an existing process to suit my own needs.

And once I've ripped - sorry - drawn inspiration from - someone else's idea and plugged it into the client's infrastructure I can put something spiffy on the old 'brochure' about me having designed a project process for rapid application and web development for a major blue chip.
