[Ipg-smz] Anyone ever want to quit?

[Grant Gross]

Thanks for the advice, Tom

It's not so much that I don't have enough work (although I can almost
always use more), it's dealing with (some) of the clients I have now. One
is making me jump through several nonstandard hoops to start working and
another is complaining about the quality of work when he asked me to
complete two stories under a very tight deadline.
