Panicking that I am not going to receive the Client approval for the Contract in a timely manner, I wrote to Mr. Client:
"The Contractors (L3) engagement in South Africa is scheduled for 2nd April. Ideally I would like to send the contracts to L3s next week so that they have one week to review. That way, the contract familiarisation session during the engagement will be more meaningful for them.
In the event that you are not able to complete the review by Monday, can I send out as “DRAFT” to them?"
Mr. Client: "yes"
Me:" great, 1 problem down, a zillion more to go"
Mr Client: "wow...not a million, not a billion but a zillion...we are an aweful lot, aren't we?"
I refrained myself from responding for fear of losing my one and only Client!
