Nothing is Trivial!

I got a call from a customer last week who needed a small piece of work done that he defined as 'Trivial'. Ok, trivial can be good - quickie in and out and you're done, but usually when I hear the word trivial I always cringe because it rarely is. It's an issue of perception of course and it depends on who you talk to. If you talk to a non-developer almost any sort of development seems trivial. I mean everybody does it right? We have Web pages everywhere - so it's gotta be easy, n'est pas?...
