Yeah, so much for pride in my work. Just got feedback from the client, who a) doesn’t seem to have read a word of my notes explaining the reasoning behind my decisions, and b) seems to have had a completely different understanding from mine of what we were going to provide. I guess this is the other side of being new in my field: on the one hand, I’m new enough to still be really excited about what I do, but on the other hand, I’m new enough that I lack the confidence to say, “No, I’m right, and you’re wrong, and here’s why.” And complicating that, of course, is the fact that we’re an agency and they’re the client, and ultimately, they’re right even when they’re not.
Sure feels like a Monday all of a sudden. Blech.
