Sorry, but I'm just too busy

There's this dipshit client that needs everything on a rush basis. And the REASON they need everything on a rush basis is this:

They just can't get their shit together to remember deadlines or think about what they want to do.

So virtually everything we do for them is on a hurry-up basis.

Of course when it comes to paying their bill, they are among the slowest we have. And this month, their payment is extra-late because one person was just "so but with Thanksgiving and all" that she didn't get around to approving the invoice and then "the executive" who has to sign off just didn't get around to it.

So we have to continue to wait. For money we earned, for money they owe.

So let's imagine: If I told them one day that I missed a publication deadline because I was just so busy with Thanksgiving or because "the executive" who proofs the copy just didn't do it, what would HER reaction be.

I fucking hate clients.
