Oh wow, that sucks. Glad it's behind you. Last week at my work was pretty rough as well, but less on the obnoxious side and more on the 'I'm having to tell people whose livelihood depends on getting our work that they're not getting our work' side. It's not like I'm super-humane and care a lot, but I know this is awful news for them and the chance of an emotional outburst or retaliation of some sort is high. Especially when one of them is losing a $2 million a year business he was going to leave to his sons. I'm sorry guy, but you've been overcharging us by double for more than a decade. By now, you should have $10 million sitting in an account somewhere to coast on for the rest of your life.
He sent me an email Friday saying he was going to take us up on our offer to allow him to revise his pricing, after his attempt to bluff during the face-to-face meeting failed.
I think I met with 15 different suppliers and visited two machine shops (both of which failed the initial quality audit, which means more work on our end as we work out if it's really worthwhile to work an improvement plan with them). I was seriously peopled out.
But hey, no one masturbated at me! I didn't have to work in an environment of annoying and painful stimulus. So there's that. :)

In my field, they say that's a good day: "No one died or masturbated at me."
