For those of you who don't know, I'm self-employed. Much of my work is done through a large company that handles a great deal of the work in my field. They get the work, they pay me to do it (not enough), they deal with the end client.
Well, I did an assignment recently, and the client is Not Happy. After looking at the job, I agree fully with the client. I fucked it up. The client had to pay a rather large sum due to my mistake. The company is also Not Happy. Company has told me that they are paying the client's costs, letting me know the sum of such costs. Company expects me to pay a certain amount of said costs. I cannot disagree, because it was my fault.
I do not like this. I am getting business liability insurance next week, to cover the amount I have to pay. I said to another supplier today, "I know life is telling me that it's time to get out of this line of work. I just want it to give me something GOOD to get into."
The other supplier replied, "Let me know when you do."
