Got a generic email today that the smaller one I was being loyal to just cancelled last minute. Not even a call or explanation, just what I can tell is a shell email. Circled back to the good offer to say I can take it, but it's already been awarded to somebody else by now. I was just trying to do what I felt was the right thing, boooo..

Anyway all good, just RGMG and I'm single right now, so no S.O. to whine about my day to lol, and not gonna do that to my buddies while we watch game 5. So CP gets to hear about it

Grinder, has been validated. Go Jays.

FWIW you did the right thing IMO. Both ethically and as a business.

If you get a rep as someone who doesn't uphold a contract, it can do long term damage. Sucks they did that to you... so that opinion you have of them will be carried forward.

Thanks man, yeah that's what I'm telling myself; I want to be reliable, and for clients to know they can trust me. I agree, better in the long run. And they finally did reach out to apologize and explain why they had to cancel at least, I was glad to see that. Jays dominating helped as well, wooo!!
