How does work make you feel today?

I have a Canadian client that is just being a total asshat. I have meeting to go over their issues log in about 10 minutes. I am furious at the things on the log as they are not issues. My company is a SaaS company, not a COTS, and everything they want has one of two issues. It would have to be a customization, remember SaaS not COTS. They also need to move to a modern browser to resolve some issues, IE 8 is not a modern browser. They keep wanting to talk about things like the answer is going to change. I am on my 3rd PM and this girl must be straight out of this is how you do a Project....

I am having a hard time getting to a happy place prior to the meeting and I am afraid I am going to go ballistic on them.......serenity now....

This is what I've learned in life...doing your work quickly and effectively only gets you more work to help allow others to "catch up". But, if you work slow enough that you're not as productive, you also won't be 'rewarded' with more work.

The saying is true; you gotta do just enough to skim by without notice, forget the "praise", it's not worth it.....they'll ride you until you can't take it anymore.
