More than that unfortunately...... this could have 8-digit consequences :\
Just feel bad because if it were any other contract it would have been brushed off as "shit happens." But shit is not allowed to happen when OMB and ten congressmen have a vested interest in what you're doing.

Contract is a dirty word to me now.

Don't say that, my 5-year plan culminates in my becoming a strategic contractor after I reach a point where the ~10k that I've put into my retirement fund follows me after I leave government

Absolutely is. For how ironclad a legal contract is supposed to be, it never works out the way it's written.

I've read the federal acquisition regulation (FAR) back and forth. Contract with an american company and as soon as they award that contract to you you're set.

Still gives me that shakes.

Me too man. The other side doesn't feel too good about it either. I promise you that.

When people are or will lose money, no one feels good.

Holy shit. I just talked the deputy commissioner into not firing anyone. Found a loophole that delays us 4 weeks instead of 3 months. I feel like I just finished a marathon lol.

I didn't used to think personalized adds were creepy but seeing stuff I've bought or though about buying suddenly in online adds is a little unsettling.
