Whoosh

Wow, that week got by me before I knew it.

I was working on a performing arts theater audio system proposal all week long, and it didn't leave me a helluva lot of time for, well, anything else. I haven't posted since Tuesday, I've barely hit Facebook at all, I haven't read so much as a page of LOTR, and I haven't touched DragonAge since last weekend.

It's not you. It's me;)

Anyway, for the three of you that still read this thing, don't think I'm on hiatus again. Just swamped. We found out about a project literally a week before the proposal deadline. Everyone else that was on the bid list knew about it three weeks before we did. Everyone else had time. We did not. I spent from 6-10 to 6-17 with my head buried so deeply in this project it must certainly have felt violated. I know I did.

But, alas, there was light at the end of the tunnel - reached by my CEO and programmer leaving with the being-assembled proposal at the absolute last possible minute to drive at sub-warp speeds into Downtown SA to barely make the 1:59 p.m. deadline - and we got our bids in on time. Fingers crossed: it's worth around $300K to the winner.

Friday was mostly catching my breath and looking at a stadium/arena grade lighting control system and deciding whether or not I want to tackle it. I'll probably have a go at it. The manufacturer has already designed and proposed it, but the client wouldn't agree to the terms of dealing direct, so the manufacturer's making them go through a local dealer. The manufacturer has several in the area, but they called us. That's saying something.

So if you'll excuse me, I must change into my cape and tights* again to become Super Audio/Video/Control System Guy! and save the world from inferior electronic systems.
