Looks like the big job wasn't in the cards.... SHIT!
Several months back I quoted a huge Casting job for a big mall in california.
And everything was going peachy.They loved our samples and at first were ok with the quote.
Well we were put off for weeks for a final answer.
Yesterday it looked like a done deal..
We were so close to scoring this big job that would have allowed me to quit my day job and work full time for myself.
Well today we got the word after we trimmed 40,000 bucks off of the quote that we still were to expensive and the job is dead.
Just FUCK!!!
Hold Me :mad: My ship just sunk.

9. Been there



....more times than I care to remember.

It hurts every time.

And you are right, there will be something better around the corner. I will tell you that most of the jobs we thought we were going to get, turned out to be such a pain in the ass that in the end I'm glad we didn't get them.


:hug:

13. Damn, I'm sorry to hear that, GoPsUx
If it's any consolation, we can totally relate. The start-up computer company my hubby works for, in which he holds a big chunk of equity stock, was all set to be bought up by another major tech company last fall. Everything was lookin' good and we were already thinking of how we were gonna spend all the money....and then the deal fell through at the very last minute. It was incredibly disappointing, but oh well...

Easy come, easy go...It's all about timing and the timing wasn't right in this case.

Life goes on. :hug:

20. Anything else I might say would probably sound trite right now,
because it takes awhile to get over something like that, but I've been there.

28. OH gosh no!
I'm so sorry. I know you really wanted this to work.

I hate to be trite and say maybe it's for the better. Or that maybe it'll work out in the long run. Heck, those are just things to try and make you feel better.

A big ol' :hug: and some advice.

You're a great guy and your ship will come in. To the right dock at the right time. Who knows who's responsible for why things happen the way they do? (If we knew we'd probably shoot 'em, eh?!)

Patience is a virtue. But in the meantime - bitchin' and moanin' to your friends is a-ok. That's what we're here for.

You've been here for just about every person in the Lounge from what I can see. It's time we all sent some good vibes your way.

:loveya:
