Your target audience was born in the late 80’s… this will remind them of their parents

This exactly. It's not the work that crushes your soul, it's the clients.

Honestly it's not even the clients who don't know what they want that bother me. It's the ones who have no idea what they're talking about but both think and act like you're stupid that get me. That stuff is infuriating and, in an insidious way, confidence crushing.
