Yes, this happened. Or very much. I do have an email as proof of the ‘well it didn’t work with this site, maybe just copy from this other site’.
Luckily the only consequence was a very surprised corporate lawyer. I repeat, this is a fictional depiction, an hypothetical situation, no baby monkey was harm or sold.

This is all too common… you can blame the UX designer for agreeing to do crap in the first place or the manager for only adding it as an afterthought. I’m going to just make fun of both :).
By the way, introducing Xavier The UX Designer. ;)

Yes, you usually end up trying to put a more positive spin on it ;).
Update: made it a bit bigger (bigger is better, isn’t it? I just hate that the Cradle of Filth T-Shirt is not that easy to spot!).

In the eternal search for the Best Way To Do Things, I’m trying to do the unthinkable: write a whole, complete script before actually starting to draw the comic.
I’m not so sure this is actually a good idea, given that the process of creation for a comic seems to be intrinsically linked to drawing. It would seem more appropriate to do sketches and scripting at the same time, which is more or less what I’ve been doing so far. I do have an idea and some draft scripting, but it’s usually not that much and when I’m actually drawing things change a lot.

We all know travel implies insurance and other costs, but no matter how you look at it, it’s always overpriced. Best thing is that trying to change any of it looks to them like trying to change one of the 10 commandments.

This is one of the most effective methods for handling criticism inside a company!
It’s a kind of Pavlov conditioning.
- "How am I managing you?"
- "Well you could change the way you apply the
ouch!" - "I repeat, how am I doing?"
- And after a while, you'll get an "You are doing excellent, sir!"
Paul the innovator (9): The reorganization 2011-09-09
This dictionary.com thing actually happened to us when someone was presenting the plan for one of the biggest projects I was involved in, back when we were younger and wild.
