Wtf.

My brother called me up today to ask me to do a Flash animation for his university website project. Which is due on Thursday. THIS Thursday. Thus he wants it done by tomorrow:

"Here is the website mainpage, if you could make a flash animation that would be great. Also could you screenshot the proccess of making this animation and say what you did because I have to include this in my journal. This work is due in for Thursday so I would really appreciate it if you could get this to me by tomorrow, its a huge favour so thankyou. Also could you let me know about the web space price and I'll sort you out the money for it.

Thanks alot,

James x"

Plus a screen-by-screen tutorial? Yes, I'll just magic that right up for you.

Jesus.

I love him, he's my li'l bro and all, but I have been asking him to tell me what he needs me to do for the past MONTH or so, and only now, the night before it's due, does he approach me for it x.x

Eggs.

My reply would be something along the lines of "I love ya, man, but no can do." ^_^;;

Lol. I'm trying to build bridges with my brother over a very damaged relationship over the years. But this is impossible x.x

[the-terrible.livejournal.com]

And he needs to be told that. Unreasonable demands aren't going to make a relationship stronger. But I'm sure I don't need to tell you that. :)

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

Indeed. I'm willing to try to help him, but I'm not a miracle worker :\

[rainsingingwolf.livejournal.com]

Tell him if that you had more time you would be more than happy to help him out, but only one day's notice isn't enough to do what he's asking.

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

I suppose I'll have to. I wanted to help him, though. I wish he wouldn't leave everything to the last minute x.x

[rainsingingwolf.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've had moments like that (and I feel guilty for them). I often have to take a deep breath and remind myself it's out of my hands. :(

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

I just don't want to miss a chance to repair my relationship with him :\ Blah, but I guess it's not MY fault that he left it to the last possible moment ^^;

[violettsukino.livejournal.com]

He sounds rather out of touch with reality.^_^;;

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

No kidding. He's worse than me!

[violettsukino.livejournal.com]

Makes you feel a little better in a way, eh?^_~

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

Yes, I may think I'm a reincarnated fictional character... but at least I know that ONE AFTERNOON IS NOT ENOUGH TIME TO ASK SOMEONE TO MAKE A COMPLETE FLASH ANIMATION WITH SCREENSHOT TUTORIAL ARRRGGGHHHH.

[violettsukino.livejournal.com]

Exactly.XD Crazy is a matter of priorities.XD

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

There's crazy-but-functioning, and then there's crazy-with-no-clue-about-how-anything-works :P

[violettsukino.livejournal.com]

Yep. All about the results. Crazy is as crazy does.^_~

HAHA IRONY

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

And isn't it ironic? Don't you think?

It's like ra~i~ain... on your wedding day...~

[violettsukino.livejournal.com]

It's the goooood adviiiiice that you just can't take!

Poor Alanis Morisette and her inability to realize that "ironic" and "unfortunate" are not the exact same thing, even if they can be related.XD

Timey wimey shouldn't be condensed.

Nitch: I suppose charging an extra fee for this wouldn't help your brother remember next time to have a reasonable timetable for this sort of thing.

Favre: Is his professor allowing outside help on this project? Your brother could be risking at least a grade this way....

Re: Timey wimey shouldn't be condensed.

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

Define 'reasonable'. Is £100 reasonable? :D

Well, this is why he wants me to send him a step-by-step tutorial of what I did, so that he can include it and make it look like he knows what he's doing :P

Re: Timey wimey shouldn't be condensed.

[teamrodent.livejournal.com]

McGee: £100's a good opening bid.

Jamie: Should he make it double?
