    -------------------------------------------
    We are looking for items for our next CRAN newsletter issue. Do you have a story about a project that went wrong? A client you let go? Something you forgot to include in your drawings? Missed the deadline by a mile? We want to hear from you!

     
    We'd like you to write 3-4 sentences about your experiences. Sometimes we can learn from one another's mistakes and now is your chance to share. We'll compile all your experiences into one article for our next newsletter issue.
     
    To protect the innocent (or just yourselves!), please consider changing the names of those involved. We also plan to include everyone's stories anonymously when sent out in the newsletter. We want to hear from you - seasoned professionals and licensed architects, so please click here to submit your stories.
     
    And for you - emerging professionals, have you been put in the middle? Asked to work on a project that looked like a lawsuit in the making? Really messed up that set of documents? We want to hear your stories too. Please click here to submit your story.

    Great idea. We can all learn by sharing our mistakes. What's your deadline?

    Reminds me of a comment I heard from a GC a long time ago:
    "I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken."

    We were wrangling over interpreting the drawings and specs and managed to meet in the middle. Humor and humility win every time.
