Allen Holub stole my job!

Yeah, yeah, and dingoes ate my baby...

I'm sure you've heard it all before but apparently today I was usurped on my first opportunity to do contract software engineering by one Allen Holub. My fatal mistake was, apparently, to say "Can I let you know tomorrow?". In between then and tomorrow the software rockstar Allen Holub was drafted and apparently took the job. I guess that I, a veritable software jack-of-all-trades shouldn't feel bad that Holub was selected preferentially over me, after all I had all along said I wanted the client to get the right person for the job.

Never mind, I've heard there are still jobs available fixing wind generators over at Altamont pass...

Turns out that Holub bailed and I was later offered the contract again. However by then I was waiting to hear about a juicy permanent position and had to turn it down.
