Protect your livilehood

From the beginning, I knew what my boss suggestion of adding a building envelope would haunt me on a project. Second, the client's inexperience; not knowing the process or components to development; and desire to skip steps caused us not to be thorough. Fifth, our compromising a step in the process in order to appease the developer will back-fire and be unappreciated. Sixth, missing days from work due to illness and trying to catch-up to meet the deadline compromised the process. Seventh, although circulating to ensure people have their comments prepared didn't prove helpful as a literal "last minute" comment became a "show stopper" and will not permit approval of the project. Minutes prior, my boss praised me for a good job on the project, I'm sure having to deny it will cause egg on our faces.

My lesson learned: don't skip steps to appease someone because it is your butt on the line and your livelihood.
