so, she's had a working copy of the thing since Sunday. i made two of them and left them on her desk with a note of the things i did and didn't like about them.

i don't like the cover, i won't be hand cutting a window in future ones,
the second page is okay,
the third page is okay,
pages four through six are kind of 'just there',
i like the last page,
i don't like the satin tape binding, i like the paper binding

on Monday she had two second versions to look at

so yesterday I asked

"any word on these?" i picked up the brochure type things as i asked

"i love 'em" the owner replied

i rolled my eyes a bit "that's not what i was looking for"

"*the client* loves them too"

still not what i was looking for so i asked "so there's nothing at all you would change?"

"i think the square footage should be included"

that's what i'm talking about, i thought.

"i'm going to have *the listing agent* look at them" she continued

"i can't go any more pages than it is now, and still have it bound with the rivets but there is room on the existing pages to fit stuff"

"i was thinking we could just rewrite the text"

"maybe you could punch a hole and use a ribbon to hold it together" someone else chimed in

"i actually thought of that but i thought it would be too feminine" i replied.

"if you haven't noticed, i am a female" - still the same someone else

"i did kinda notice that but i didn't think it would be a good idea to alienate a whole gender type of client"
