eight'll get ya sixty five thousand!

I have learned a few things in my new job.

For instance, when you tell someone that they lost a $20,000 contract because another company submitted a bid that was $2 less than theirs they swear….LOUDLY!

But this is where the sadistic part of me gets happy.

We then had to tell the same company that they lost a different $45,000 contract by $6. Apparently, swearing doesn’t cut it in this case. There was about 8 seconds of silence and then the phone was hung up.

He called back later in the day so we know he didn’t hurt himself.

While I feel bad for him, as a separate 3rd party observer I find the situation to be hilarious.

May it never happen to me.

Man, almost makes you want to give him the next contract just to keep him in the game. Gotta keep him bidding so you can continue to enjoy your sadistic pleasures!
