This can be a feast or famine type business. One day you're freed up not doing much just working on your own projects and the next day your ICQ lights up like a vegas slot machine.
Then when that happens you get 10-20 people who all want to order galleries from you ranging from 2 - 100...seriously.
You tell them that you can't really give them an exact estimate on turnaround because it's first come first served...and by that I mean the first person who gets me their content is going to get served first.
What usually happens is they say they'll get the content to you and in the mean time you book 2 more jobs and then an email with links to content shows up 3 days later and they still expect that you can get to their work right away...that's not how it works...LOL
Another thing is they all send their content at the same time and really put you into a bind.
Anyway I haven't had that big an issue with tardiness, only once or twice I was maybe a day or two off but that's it.
Edited to add: I love all my clients especially my regulars you guys are the best looking forward to getting more ;)

Yeah , thats very much how it goes .
I have clients disappear off the face of the earth for days ,
and then show up like Ive been sitting here waiting for them so I can go on with their stuff .
and then they flip when they find out turnaround is now 2 weeks , or whatever .
Sorry to hear about this Juicy .
