I usually try to find the best in every bad situation - an eternal optimist.
I lost a client today through my own inexperience. Stupidity really. After being told, under no uncertain terms, that my services would no longer be required (business jargon for 'fuck off') I sat in stunned silence for a few beats. After some refection I began to realized that he had taught me a valuable lesson which had cost me relatively little.
I later e-mailed him a note entitled 'Silver Lining' in which I agreed with his position, thanked him for showing me the light, and wished his business good fortune.
Don't get me wrong here, I'm still pissed off. I wouldn't work for the prick again - at least not until this incident is just a memory (in business, you can't be too proud to reconsider), but I did learn something...
