Re: And that's why...
"would you rather it was done properly and agreed so you could go home at a respectable time and put your child to bed?...Life is far too short to treat any gobshite boss's demands as wasting their money. It's wasting your time, and you only have a finite amount of it."
Look on the time you spend after you've gone home as your time. What you do with it is funded by their money. If they're determined to get as little as possible for it that's their problem.
However, a good plan if the instructions are verbal is to follow up each change of mind statement of requirements with an email saying what you understand them to have said. That set of emails becomes part of the project documentation.
