One Less Headache
Looks like MG Web Services won’t be hosting the Municipal web site, which is odd because the other two proposals afaik had hosting costs at approx. 400/month and 85/month, the latter being about 800% more than the basic plan. No mention in the letter who got the job of developing the web site either. With only two proposals submitted from an island that has lots of developers, it’s pretty obvious that their requirements were not clear enough and/or their budget was unrealistic.
On the day job at the marina it was an interesting day yesterday too, as the owner had decided that I was going to be telling other people what to do and when. No problem with that, but there isn’t a snowball’s chance that it will happen at the pay rate I’m getting now. Been a foreman enough in my life to know that no matter how much responsibility or authority you have, unless you own the company you have nothing but headaches and can be let go just like anyone else if the owner decides they don’t like you anymore. Thanks but no thanks, I’ll just continue being a prole if you don’t mind while I peck away at this computer
