fuck that shit.

I do quotes all day....FUCK that dude.



EDIT*....Oh man the text editor censor had me rolling on the floor. I originally thought Salarys comment "anus that shit" was weird ><

[Rokrayne]

Of course I am not bidding this. I found out from the general contractor that this project has been designed by the owners friend who just graduated college 2 months ago.......I was absolutely dumb-founded after reading the specifications and had to share this level of ineptness.

I was going to say that...

I have run across quote requests that has a similar feel, wanting you to basically price everything including five different methods of shipping.

EVERY TIME it is a FRESH grad that has no idea what they are doing. I work in the concert/movie industry and this quote request shit is always followed by, oh ya and I need this at the end of the week, on a holiday, in Mexico...

...friend who just graduated college 2 months ago...

ughhhhh. That's me in 18 months! That's some major /facepalm though.

How are you supposed to price cabinets and stuff if you don't even know the dimensions they would need to be?

They have at least quadrupled the cost of their project IF they can find anyone that will bid on it.

I had an old contracts and specs prof say years ago that standard AIA specs and contracts may not be the greatest in the world, BUT everyone legally knows what every if, and , or, etc... means and knows how to decipher it.
