ROFL, think I found missy.  One of the local "redhat ladies" found a new to her hat with cat.

Actually, you were asking me to design a logotype which would have taken me a few hours and fifteen years experience.

            Good riddance to asshats is what I say.

            Over the years, I went from taking every opportunity and
            frequently low balling to get the work to turning away
            many more opportunities than I take.  Just this morning a
            guy that had been trying to get me to  help him develop
            some kind of ground heater (whatever that is, I think
            perhaps for thawing ground)  a few weeks ago.  Here is an
            email he just sent:

                So, I have made the assumption you folks are not
                interested in taking on this project of mine. This
                will be the SECOND time you've turned away a project
                for me. I've seen your facility, I know it's
                capabilities, but it just seems there's no real
                interest in outside work. With the funds I had
                allotted to have this work done, I have decided to use
                to purchase our own equipment. With all the writing
                all over your building, I was pretty sure you folks
                would be THEEE place to get some one-off things
                accomplished. We will be doing our work now in house,
                or have several operations in Montana for the larger
                pieces. We were really looking forward to doing
                business with you, but sadly, that ship has sailed.

                I understood that.. no one even wanted to quote either
                project. Both fit your production capabilities.  We
                had time to wait.  But it's all kind of moot at this
                point.. We've moved on. I drive by there at least once
                a week. All the wording on the building and websites
                just feels misleading at this point.

                The first project I brought in was pretty small, and
                was told you didn't have the staff on hand. I tried to
                present a resume, but no one was interested in that
                either. So here we are that,  about to launch a
                national company,  and now have our own shop. Just
                would have been nice to get an up front own and honest
                answer from the start that you guys weren't interested
                at all, or didn't want the business.  I've been
                waiting for a quote for some time which waged some
                time,  but after the first issue,  it's just not worth
                my time.  I just wanted you folks to know where I was
                coming from

            I forwarded the only three emails I have ever sent to him.
            In all I referred him to other shops, never offered to
            quote. But this is a perfect example of the type of
            wingnut you want to avoid.  Good that in a period of a
            month he now has his own shop and manufacturing
            capabilities etc. Lost out bigtime here... yeah, I lost
            out on bitcoin too.  Oh well.
