LOL!
i'd be taxing a rush order charge for sure!

congrats on meeting the deadline and hopefully they don't make you bid the project next time and simply come straight to you, with their budget, instead.

On the way to make the delivery... leaving at 10:19, it is 45 mins away.

No problem... 5 mins to spare!

i can't wait to hear their reaction, when they find out you pulled a rabbit outta your hat!

met an impossible deadline myself this past week... felt great to pull it off and even better getting their response.

I would tell them you had to bring extra people in and pay overtime to fix their mistake. Otherwise, they might wonder why you were initially charging $4,500 for something you did overnight.


Looks like part-time tonight.... Drinks on jiarby :beer:beer:bushmill::beer:wine-smi:​

what Gino said, otherwise it'll be "Well geeze why do you need 2 weeks advance, last time you did in one day? And can we get a break, after all it's only a days work."

I never even saw the guy. he had me leave it at the front desk and the receptionist signed for it without even looking.

yeah, but...

if it was late.. the F'n CEO would have been on your doorstep..

get it in time against all odds... and you get a lazyass secretary doing her nails who lifts on finger to sing the drop slip.. nothing ever changes...

congrats from us anyway... we all know all to well what it takes to GSD...

Last night I almost offered the chinese food delivery guy $50 to come back after work and help for a couple hours! It sounded too much like the beginning of one of those penthouse letters so I didn't.

You should have called at 4:30 this morning when I was redoing 4x8 panels on the flatbed that another vendor messed up! And yes... this was worth way more than $4500
