As I reviewed the assigned job, I realized that it was calling for me to do something the the customer’s system isn’t rated to do. Without going into boring details, it means the job has to get reworked from scratch, and it’ll wind up costing significantly more than the customer is likely willing to pay.

Lucky break!
