Vent: A client's 'simple' engine swap turned into a 14 hour day because I didn't ask the right questions upfront.

Oof, that's brutal. Those "simple" jobs always have hidden gremlins. What was the main thing you missed asking?

Honestly, "hidden gremlins" is the perfect way to put it. Tbh, I always forget to ask about the actual daily schedule, not just the posted hours. Like, does the "9-5" mean you start seeing patients right at 9, or is there a 30 minute morning huddle first? That stuff adds up. Also, what's the real policy on running late? Some offices make you squeeze people in, others actually build in buffer time. It changes everything.
