Work

I've spent the last few days getting paperwork ready for a number of projects that I'm currently working on and I have to say that some people are very slow in getting information to you... I've sent out requests for prices on a few things, that I need for these projects and I have, in fairness to the companies, got back the great and ever dependable automated reply 'We shall reply to your query within 24hrs'
Simple little things like a price on a website, rough ball park figure will be fine, that will look like this one- here's a link- but no reply in 24 hours. What they fail to say is, 'What 24hours?' Today, tomorrow, next week, christmas or maybe its next year.... Who knows?

 Since I started applying for funding to make movies, I have been amazed. If I'm looking for funding for a short film, I can fill out the application online and get all the other information together and hey presto, I have an application pack. But get this, I have to print 3-5 copies of everything and then post it. Why, oh why, can't I just email you the information and then you can email it onto the panel for reading...? Why do I need to kill a tree for a rejection letter? Ever heard of EMAIL?  No, what about the interweb? Yes, well sign up for email, its FREE!
