Right, we did meet with the client again today and nothing was said and I kept myself in check. Still I'm not proud of losing my cool.

Aw Whyemier, maybe that was just what was needed to get things back on track ! And by the sounds of it, it cleared the air a bit, well for you anyway !! lol I think sometimes people get so of course they cant see the wood for the trees. I think you just wanted to see that old tree again !! lol Anyway sometimes it does to let of a bit of steam, do you feel better now !! lol

Back from California, will sleep in my own bed tonight. Already hearing from those in charge and its not bad, just a bit of "That might need to be tempered some"
. Overall the response is favorable if for no other reason than it makes the client pause and reconsider.

Whyemier, I used to have a boss that had many sayings and one was "diplomacy, is the art of telling someone to go to hell and having them think it will be a nice trip!" Some times it is easier said than done. All's well that ends well
