Now I can comfortably take a sick day. Getting this deal through was the only thing keeping me from relaxing enough to actually try and recover from whatever the hell I've been plagued by.
This whopper came from playing the relationship game hard. I had spend the better part of my time at this company cultivating relationships with the two organizations that were involved in making it happen.
Had a client/prospect that had recently put together a lot of money and needed to connect it to a reputable organization in order to spend it with us to keep their funders happy.
The perfect opportunity arrised when my biggest client had a spot open up that created cashflow needs in the exact area these guys were looking to deploy their capital.
Made the introductions, added some social greese in the form of paying for everyone's drinks at a conference in Vegas and we got to work making sure everyone had their ducks in a row.
Literally just got confirmation that the wire has hit our account.
Enough of this bullshit now, I'm going to drink a bottle of nyquill and pass out for a few days.
