Wasted time

I've just been told that the mixed animal version that I've put at least 60 hours in to, is not going to happen after all. It reminds me of the time I worked on a fisheries website to sell licenses. They lost all the Palm Pilots, the website never went live, and 3 years later, they came to our company and asked us to build basically the same system, I went into the meeting and said 'you have that already, we wrote it for you'. *sigh*

I can beat that. The last set of visualization tools I wrote grew out of discussions with the acquisition editor for a major textbook publisher. The editor was totally into the concept, so we wrote a grant proposal, I spent 7 and a half months getting the prototypes through peer review with the MAA, 6 months of review by the author committee... and they decided not to use it. :mad: :confused: :sigh: [edit] Grammar fixes. What can I say. English isn't my forte. [/edit]
