He should hook up with this client. They can drop dirt on agency folks who like to occasionally engage in some R&R. This guy was really whacked - he thought that people should work 24/7 to service their clients. The funny thing about him - he couldn't deliver a project on time, he never listened to what the client had to say, and he acted like a 5 year old whenever a client didn't want to do what he thought they should do. He now has a blog on Fast Company where he feels that summer is a waste of time because (in his mind) everyone wants to play and no one wants to work.

The nerve of some people. I might suggest a beach bucket and shovel for getting said client’s head out of his ass.

I think some clients think that because they pay you, they own your soul. Glad you laughed, because that's exactly what I would have done...and then asked myself whether the $ was worth it.

At least one of my clients from my agency days was obviously bent when I informed them I was taking time off. As if the world stops spinning if you're not working on their account for five days.
