Incorrect Bid Estimation

[pistos]

I really screwed up on this random business opportunity.  It's understandable given the fact we haven't been in business for such a long time.  Boo.  I estimated we would earn about $1500 for about four hours of work.  Not bad at all.  The reality is that it's going to take a few more hours than anticipated.

The negotiated contract is actually for $

Just make sure of the number of zeroes on the end :D

Once I pick myself up from the floor. We're not quite sure what to make of this

Goodness! It sounds like a great opportunity for you.

It really is. Maybe this will offset the horrible hit we took when the other business failed. As mentioned, we honestly would be fine with less, but socking the income away for retirement would make retirement possible.

Wow! Just ... WOW! That's definitely eye popping! O.O!

Way cool, y'all! ;)

Thanks. We'll run with this for as long as there's running to be had.

When we begin Phase II, we'll be looking to share the wealth. We may be in a position to tap your areas of expertise, if you're interested.

Not sure how I'd fit in with your business, but yeah, sure, I'd be interested. You've got my e-mail, right?

You have skills aplenty, so the rumours go.

I'm thinking LAN administrator.
