At least it's a good story?
It is if we make a sale anyway. At the moment it's crippling. See what we can do under the circumstances and whether the toy company will cough up some money to cover the costs. Probably not because that would admit liability.
Oh my god, David, that's awful! I'm so sorry.
Oh my god, David, that's awful! I'm so sorry.
Thanks. My partners are just gut-punched by it. It's so much work and we're undercapitalized as it is. Honestly, this isn't the only time somebody has lost or damaged one of our prototypes either. These companies treat them like they're brochures instead of working models with carefully calibrated pieces and integrated art etc.
Oh no, David! I'm so sorry. What a blow.
God, that's awful. What a horrific thing to have happen.
Oh David, that is just a spectacularly bad sequence of events. Ick. It is a good thing to have the balance of the love and joy of your family.
Was it here I posted about my meltdown over not being able to find the key to my safe?
I remember that, msbelle—did you find it?
MAC HAD TAKEN THEM! THEY WERE ON HIS KEYRING!!!
While he was having a hissy fit last night after being a TOTAL JERK at my parent's house on Christmas, I got into his room while he was out and found his keyring to get his car key and THERE THEY WERE.
FUCKER!!
I bet he did not even know what the keys were to, just found them and took them when he was mad at me.
