I'm always appalled at how technical or creative people get fucked over re deadlines.
Sorry to hear they're taking the piss.

I get that he's getting shit from the client, but he doens't seem to realise that its like re-writting an entire book whilst making sure it doens't contradict the origional book in any place.

Options here are either
Say it can't be done, or offshore it. There will be teams of Indian lads who will work 24/7 for the experience and a couple of hundred quid.

I ended up saying "I'll see what I can do, can't promise anything", and i'll work on it 'till its done 'cus I'm too eager to please.
I'm like 80%+ there and no one else can even help 'cus I'm the only one who knows the code/layouts, and I'm the only guy who can write in the languages it uses (even though I ain't touched the languages a year ago).

The client is a pretty big deal, to do with nuclear energy, so I wouldn't outsource it anyway 'cus there is a hidden area full of stuff that should never get out.
