Learning from work

At the moment I am working on a freelance job with someone who brought me on board. It has turned out that that person is not as professional as they claimed to be, and the worst of it is that they do indeed feel that they are extremely professional. It has been very challenging to work with them. They have made so many mis-steps that the client has called me several times and basically asked me to reign this person in.
It has been an experience to say the least.
For me the project has been straightforward. Get all of the elements to do the design, and she has not managed to give me these elements in a timely fashion, so now, she is bitching and moaning about charging too little, but she is still working on her part of the project although the deadline is next week.
She has also chosen to go to cricket when she should be working. So there it is.
What working on this job has shown me is my own work ethic. I have stayed on course (as I usually do) and I am very clear about my role (as I usually am)certainly the cost could have been higher, but in the negotiations, the client made it clear what could be afforded. We could have said no. I said yes based on the time factor and I have worked accordingly, not doing what I should not do.
So I am quite pleased that the project is on stream where my work is concerned.
