» Clients Are Stupid
In the high times of .com
I was freelancing at an agency, and they looked for new in-house designers.
They hired a bird who had no screen design expertise or portfolio and showed them a hand-drawn pen and paper animation of a horse shagging a woman during her interview as an example of her skills.
The web agency hired her. I asked for my cheque in advance.

a client of ours
wanted to close their web site for two days to do the euro revamp. We did a holding page, with a logo, a sorry message and an email link. they claimed that people know them by the design of their navigation not their logo and asked us to put the navigation in, just without the links.
However, one of my junior developers topped that by starting to take out the hrefs of the links, rather than just doing a screenshot.

If you work in IT
get used to reading grey or green on black. I spent the better part of a year chatting on IRC and my boss was sure I did a great job maintaining the server.

Closest tube stations are Oxford Circus (Victoria Line, Bakerloo Line & Central Line) and Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly Line & Bakerloo Line).
There are ample taxi's to be found outside the bar, however this will be at individual expense.
Those requiring public transport can view final tube/train times at the link below. The final tube times for all lines at Oxford Circus & Piccadilly Circus are approximately 12:30am.

» Evidence that you're getting old
when I was in Amsterdam for a conference
I really enjoyed going to a pancake house, but was bored in a "hooters"-like "strip" joint and didn't even go to a coffieshop.
