How I conduct Bid-Ness

...I've removed all the pertinent names in the exchange between my boss and I below for your enjoyment, who says a working stiff can't have a bit of fun?...

(also I've reformatted in chronological order)

I'm confused. Was there no standard? If not, how do we determine what our rights/expectations are? If we didn't provide a space to identify the run times, how did we get the 4 and 8 hour bids?

My head is hurting more than usual!
