Helped a client fix a case of his in front of the apex market regulator. Put in a lot of effort and convincing on both ends. Lot of back and forth. Finally Deal done. The officer (in the regulator) backed out at last moment yesterday.
Was gonna make 1cr. in the deal. Lost it now. First time doing such things and amounts to a big zero.
Wasted tonnes of energy and time on it also. Pissed off as hell. Ruined a lot of effort and my weekend too.
Now the client's gonna be pissed at me too.
Note - Self righteous people / trolls / Moralistic advice givers please don't comment. You are not welcome.
Rant over. Frustration Continues.
