Had to come in early in the morning to ensure that our pricing for the tender was ok.  In our cross checking, we had found detrimental mistakes on my numbers that we were lucky to had been able to catch and rectify before submission.  Now the rest of the team is preparing the required documentation to send out to the customer.  Hopefully our luck will continue and we will take this project to do. 

This is why it is important for more than 1 set of eyes to go through numbers.  After looking at spreadsheets all night long, I find that my eyes starts to get blurred and I have a tendency to punch in the wrong number.  In this case, the maintenance cost was placed instead of the marked up price.  In all the other sections of our submission the price was the marked up one.  What a mistake.  

It was lucky that we were able to catch it.  Great job team.  

Now since it is about 10:50am, and the rush and adrenaline of tender preparation is done, I have to move on to the next items on my list.  

What needs to be done today??? 

I am sure there would be things that will be added to the list as the days go by. 

Next big item this month, is my daughter's 1st birthday.  That is going to be a planning nightmare also.  But well worth it, since it will be her 1st birthday.
