There is no such EAZY money

I evaluated the project and thought:
  • candy from a baby
  • best 30 minutes I ever spent
  • e-a-s-y money

Well, it would've been had everything gone right (for the other parties) as anticipated. I was done in 2 mins (ok... with extra one hour to validate & feel sure; so let's just say one hour). Then the calls came in that the other party could not make the milestone. It seemed easy enough with hopes of recovery... then panic, anger, more panic and a lot of second, third, fourth and nth guesses. You know what happens when people start doubting themselves... complete failure --> especially the failure to communicate. Oh, people were communicating just that the doubt lingered and grew larger. Now my 30 minutes is turning into hours and counting...

Then the "CYA" and "face recovery" scenarios played out.

I can't believe I am spending my weekend working very hard for this "EAZY" money. Oh well, just goes to show how easy money could be when you have to work for it. Money is in torns - spread the word.

I feel rewarded. I did my homework; I came through in record time and I plan to continue the trend.

I know different now; don't ever think it E-A-Z-Y to work for your reward. It is rewarding NOT easy.
