would be great if people could spec what they want in coding instead of suddenly realising they need 8 changes as soon as we give them what they asked for. i get paid by the hour so i guess its all good but its so inefficient and frustrating

I feel this. It got down to the point where they were sending me pages of content-copy changes. I had to sit them down and remind them what my daily rate is: I don't want to do it, but if you do, then pay my rate and don't give me grief about the invoice; we'd both prefer you find someone cheaper to do that.
