scooterbird may have gotten the job after all

Not a weird thing, but... 1 month ago

I didn’t have anyplace else to list this, and it’s kinda important.

As some of you may have figured out (from that little mood-meter thing, which I couldn’t figure out how to lie to), the last week or so has been kind of rough. I won’t go into it, ‘cause it’s private family stuff, but it’s getting better, I think.

One of the things that’s helping is that my company just got its first contract. Now I’m not doing cartwheels because it’s a very temporary, one-task gig; it’s only 50 hours or so of work. But it’s a real contract for the company that I incorporated myself…which is pretty good and it’s a real, actual accomplishment that I did. It gives my company a past performance and makes it more attractive for clients – plus all of the paperwork and accounting for having employees will be established, so I won’t screw anything up later when it might matter more.

Hi S,

Due to the delays in hearing back from you we went with another
consultant to assist us with this project which starts tomorrow. We’ll
keep you in mind for other upcoming projects. Thanks.

R,

Obviously there’s been some kind of disconnect. My last message to you
was dated November 22 and is reproduced below; in it, I suggest a
preliminary meeting and request some other information. I inquired
previously to Ms. Xxxx about any further documents which needed to be
submitted and was told there were none; that too is indicated below. I
received nothing further from you in reply after the 22nd.

I am still willing to perform the required work, and haven’t given any
indication to the contrary. Could you explain what the issue is?

S

No response yet. Lawyer is getting a call.

Hating my miserable life now.

Done

Not going with it. They had a hissy because I didn’t respond to an earlier email fast enough. When I responded, they ignored me…and then, rather than calling with a start time, told me they’d found someone else last week.

I could pursue this, and may still, but they’re going to be that way about it and I don’t want to work for them.

The best thing now is to put this behind me, because I do have bigger fish to fry in front of me…although I really, really would love to find a way to get back at these people. (As I told my wife, I really wish I wasn’t a vengeful person…)
