I was working up a bid on a job today, came up with $35,000. The company name is "AstraZeneca". (See bottom right of photo)
I didnt realise who they were until I reached for a Zomig a half hour ago.
Should I up my bid to get back at the bastards and risk losing the job cause im to high on the bid?
If I do up my bid and get the job will it just mean that the cost will trickle down to us?
Do I do nothing and just submit my bid?
What would you do?
Me?, I would love to bend these bastards over!!!!!

jonny,
I'm in biz to, what I would do is bid it the right way and try to take as much out of them later by doing change orders to the project if required. I'm not sure what their looking for from you as far as product goes, but if there is a bid specification with the request for bid form, check it over real good! A lot of times they fuck up on it and don't even know it, so thats when you drill for oil in their asses. ;D
Good luck Bro and I hope you get it. Thing are fucking tough out there right now. I was at a high of 12 full-timers six months ago and now I'm down to 4. Pretty tough to pay the bills right now but hey, Clusterheads are a resilient bunch aren't they? I will recover! FUCKENEH
Seeya,
Jimbo

I say you get the bid, with the stipulation that once they pay you you'll tell them when you can work, sort of matching their "usual dosage" info printed on the outside of the box.
Then, after you're all paid up inform them you can only work two times per day (even if you don't really work the first time) with at least a two hour break in between and you're only going to work six times per month, maximum. If they start to squabble, tell them to take it up with their insurance company.

This was the automated response from the regarding the OUCH 03 convention:
Dear Mr. Young,
Thank you for contacting AstraZeneca LP.
We have forwarded your information along to the appropriate personnel.
Sincerely,
Information Center at AstraZeneca
Appropriate personnel must be part the Iraqi regime. Haven't seen hide nor hair from them since.
Bid the job and put in the contract that a portion of the money will go to OUCH. You know? The folks that make you rich and you kick to the curb.

Take the job - get the money..
Sorry to say that I believe that it is a Swedish owned company - for that I am very sorry (I used to be Swedish, ;D).
If you don't do it (get the job) someone else will.

Let's see:
A nice jing-jing in your pocket
VS
looking for another job to bid
Your reputation as a company that charges fair prices for top-notch work
VS
a reputation as a company that overprices
(which relates to your professionalism)
Factor in the high likelihood that this project will NOT affect their bottom line, most likely the money has already been apportioned for this project, consequently, the extra that you might collect if you get the job with a higher-than-necessary bid, and the bubble just burst.
IT WON'T HURT THEM TO PAY
Will it hurt you to miss out on this opportunity? Could it lead to more jobs in the future?
Take the high road, Jonny......you're obviously excellent at what you do, and you should be paid well- give them a reason to call you back AGAIN & AGAIN.
"course, dating the CEO's daughter might be a bit of a payback!! 
I hope you have the winning bid, Jonny!

Thanks folks, I really wanted to run this by the family seeing it had to do with the bastards.
I will submit my original bid but I will bend them over like Jimbo says, I can do this very easy.
Ted, when I say friday delivery, I never said which friday......(New contract, they pay half up front....LOL)
Second half is where I can fuck them, they need it so bad to get an occupancy permit they will lick you......LMMFAO!!!!! ;D
Thanks for the advice, my family ;D

Take the job, but draaaaggg it out, be like bureaucracy guy from hell. It'll end up costing them more money anyway, but their corporate culture will see it as status quo.

Bid high... but not so high that you don't get the job. You can then feel good knowing they were fucked by a clusterhead!

Hey Jonny,
I'm late to the topic but I'd second Jimbo ... gotta run "upright". Give 'em that honest quote and when they need changes ... they gotta know that costs dinero. The only work of yours I've seen was that ladder and I must say ... whatever your bid is for, they're getting their money worth.
Nice work man.
Later

Hey Bud-- I think you are on the right track. Bid normally, get the contract, and then do what you can without doing too much that they get pissed. Remember, there may be multiple contracts here, and if you do damn good work, they may come back to you again and again... think LONG TERM fucking here Bro!  Instead of a one night stand--think marriage!

Take the job
Take the money
Take the pills
Take your time
Tell them when they ask why you're taking so long, that it's because you're only following their instructions on the box about operating heavy machinery. Anything that happens to you while taking a chance by doing the work will be their fault.

Well $hit. That’s the problem with working nights, by the time I get home (it was early tonight, 12:45 am) and want to reply to a post, all the good lines are taken. So, I will pretend that this is the first reply, and just trip out on my own.
Have you tried oxygen? (sorry, wrong thread)
Dudester,
The problem is not with the maker of Zomig, the problem is that insurance will only cover 6 pills a month. Do you have insurance? I was just thinking that you’ve had these fuckers for so long, it’s probably always been, in their minds, a “pre-existing condition”.
I got this advice when I was kind of in the same dilemma. Back when I was doing television commercials, I got cast in a couple of McDonalds spots. I was a vegetarian at the time and quite the “hippie environmentalist” (gave up the car, and rode a bicycle for 10 years). I just did not feel “right” doing these commercials. An older actor friend said, “Do the commercial, take the money and eat somewhere else. That’s the best revenge”.
So bid conservatively, get the job (we are all rooting for you on this one, you deserve it, bro) and switch to Maxalt MLT 10mg. I consider them equal. ;D
Peace and PFDAN,
David J.

I just looked at your Zomig package again, and see that you aren’t using Zomig-ZMT 5mg (the fast dissolving under the tongue tabs, with subcutaneous delivery). You’ve got the regular Zomig 5mg. Clue us in on that choice. My take, is that if you use it as you go to bed (as we’ve talked about before), the half life must be double that of the ZMT, and perhaps protects you farther into the sleep cycle. Since I always get hit 15 min.-2 hours after falling asleep, I want the fast dissolving tabs (half life 1.5 – 3 hours).
Just wondering,
David J.

Be honest about it. Two wrongs dont make it right. You won't feel good in the end if you are dishonest and up the bid or raise it after fact. Its a nice fantasy but in the end I don't think its the wise thing to do.
