So our first big customer gives our company a call. They've been building "the factory." Bigger than a football stadium. We'll be supplying "the stuff that goes inside." Me, I'm in charge of the specs. You know, prying the info out of the engineers to put in a document. There's maybe 8 of us involved, but I'm in charge. And it hasn't gone well and we're running a couple weeks late.
Anyway, our first big customer calls, and they say they aren't ready for the shipment of our stuff. In fact, they won't be ready for another three months. It takes us a while to learn from them what the problem is. A monsoon paid them a visit.
They didn't have the roof on.
It's still not clear whether we will be held accountable. They had stopped building to await the specs that tell them how to build.
Oops...
