I'm not sure what the parallel here is, is it that a big-ass sapphire has something to do with your personal life? Does "project got pushed another two months." happen in mining? Unused PTO? Do you ever take your hard-won rocks to the guy and he tells you no, they're actually only worth 1/10th what you thought?

"Does "project got pushed another two months." happen in mining"

Yup, when you find a larger vein or pocket or deposit than normal.

"Unused PTO?"

Doesn't exist.

"Do you ever take your hard-won rocks to the guy and he tells you no, they're actually only worth 1/10th what you thought?"

Nope. I know my grades and qualities, so I know what I can charge, be it in rough form, slabbed, cabbed/faceted, etc.
