Suspense, not quite killing me
A friend of mine is starting a consulting business. He happened to move to an area where the cost of living is significantly lower than what it is around here, so his rates are significantly lower than the rates around here. When he asked if I knew of any projects or companies looking to hire, I asked if I could interest him in one of my projects. He said sure, so I wrote up the first one I wanted done. It's an easy project, very specific to an interest of mine. The website itself, once launched, won't have more than a couple thousand users, if that many.
After hemming and hawing and not quite finishing the spec, I finally sent it to him last night. It's not complete by any means, quite incomplete actually.
He wrote back to me today.
I haven't opened the email.
I'm too nervous. Is he going to say, "what a stupid idea!" ? (Never quite sure how to double punctuate a sentence, since you're not supposed to do so.) Is he going to say, "wow, maybe you could have given me more details?" Maybe, "That's a lot of fluff. What am I supposed to do?"
I guess I could just open the email. It's not like he's an unsupportive, mean, bully of a friend. Quite the opposite.
Okay, clicking on the email now...
