The week I made $2,300 in 3 days then lost $1,100 the next morning

Last month I had this crazy Tuesday through Thursday where every job went smooth. No callbacks, no hidden rot behind walls, just clean work and customers who paid same day. Felt like I couldn't miss. Then Friday morning I got a call from a lady whose basement flooded because a supply line I installed 2 weeks ago had a tiny pinhole leak. Had to rip out part of her finished wall, replace the line, and eat the labor. Insurance probably won't cover it either since it was a recent install. Has anyone else had one of those weeks where the universe just balances the scales real quick?

....and that's when you start wondering if the universe really does have some kind of cosmic accounting department, right? Because that's a brutal swing, man, $2,300 up one day to negative $1,100 the next morning. Did the supply line fail because of something you think you actually did wrong, or was it just a bad piece of pipe from the factory?
