Well, at least you’ve still got a project. In my world it’s a race to cancel or defer….well, everything. Need to preserve the “cash flow” – whatever the fuck that is – you know.

Wow. We didn’t even have to send you to Little Butterfly Camp. (Some stupid camp around here that helps grieving kids that they all beg their parents not to send them to, because it’s so dumb and corny.) You’re very resilient.

.. no point in arguing with them either..they dont know they dont know what they want..so the best thing to do is just go along until they have exhausted all possible scenarios their tiny brains can possibly concoct regardless how bizarre or whether it is even humanly possible until they finally ask your opinion and you can show them/tell them (no tears)what needs to be done..
Nice to see someone moving through the 5 stages with such ease.
If you put something obviously wrong in there (maybe even bold it or put it in a pretty font to draw attention) would they leave the correct stuff alone?
Clients always need to tinker with something – might as well present them with a suitable decoy?
Aah, at last a true professional. Unfortunately, I can only find comedy in each of the 5 phases, which is no recipe for professional success, unless of course you are professional comic, which unfortunately I am not.

are you dead? that was quick.
why is “banana diet” listed as a possibly related post? are bananas dying? grieving their squishy little ‘nana hearts out?

I’m stuck in denial
Hang on…I might be reading more into this. Are you ok?

God, now I’m depressed.
I’m quite partial to anger. Especially if I get to throw stuff. And shout a lot.
I don’t do acceptance well. Unless it’s the accepting of

i am NOT angrily depressed, so just accept it… or take what’s behind curtain #2!!!
