I've had a rough couple of weeks because it became apparent to me a few weeks ago that the publisher of the magazine I was spending time selling ads for and designing was going to back out and quit publishing the magazine and today, a day before deadline, she finally said it. So, I'm sitting here with a lot of contacts, some advertising contracts and etc... that I have to go back to and say - oh, I'm sorry, we won't be publishing that magazine anymore is there anything else I can do for you?
It is very frustrating - fortunately one of the contacts I had made is with a lady who runs a local website and had asked me about possibly trading some advertising or contacts and etc... I talked to her again today and should know by the end of the week if I'll have something similar to an advertising magazine to sell.
I don't tell people I'll do something and then back out less than two months later - it aggravates me that this person who I checked out as thoroughly as I could did. I realize it's just life and additionally I have made some good contacts that have paid off in other work for me so that helps.
I'm just venting here - so make me feel better and tell me stuff like this has happened to you too, okay?
