I have decided to write a series of short scenarios:
OK I’ll tell you what I’ll do, I’ll do a sketch with the suggested alterations. I won’t do a large scale fully worked up design yet, and see if the steering group OK the sketch before doing the final design. You should get something by the middle/end of next week is that OK?
and
your representative visited my workshop yesterday to see the works in construction and seemed very pleased with way things have progressed so I am attaching my invoice for payment as agreed in the contract. I have also attached images of the most recently completed work in the series.
but
‘half a dozen designs and none of them seem quite right and oh you want a seventh version with a few alterations.
actually…. I’ve had enough of this….and you can have your payment back. I’m not quite clear on the internal politics going on here, but they make a never ending circle’.
and
as the work will be adopted by us after a year we also need to agree things are going OK and will send a representative out to see the work soon on the suggested date.
and
No thats right, sometimes the only way to get the right colour is to blend the tiles optically, in a pontalist kind of way, to create a colour not manufactured.
but
thank you for the update, but please delete me from your file as I will not submit a proposal as I would be unable to work within the time schedules.
or
Thank you for you application for the residency you will hear from us shorty.
and
I don’t usually have a problem with colour, but I can send you examples of projects with the designs on paper compared to photos of the finished work to show the slight variations that do happen. Oh…. you would like to visit soon after work has started to see if the colours were OK….Yeh your very welcome.
and finally:
The magpie refused to enter the ark with Noah.
