..one of those jobs where you wonder to yourself why on earth you took it on? Shot myself in the foot big style when I quoted on how long it was likely to take too. Bl00dy optimism. It's the last time I try using that again.

I have those days all the time, just means i have to work twice as hard to get it done.

Buggered myself big style with this one when I estimated how long it would take. Fifteen hours or so maximum I thought. Yeah, right. You'd think one would learn after so long not to do that optimistic estimation, wouldn't you. A week later, working on it on and off, and it's still only half way or so.

I know what you mean. Generally I let the wench do any pricing up. She's a lot more 'money gathering orientated' than I. This time I did it, however. As you can probably guess.

What is it that you do? and what have you started that is taking too long?
