Bidding for a contract and then not winning it can be really disappointing and so the speaker is sarcastically saying that they loved feeling that disappointment.
Consider the staetement "I had my hopes up to win a sweet contract I bid on but they chose someone else for the project.". Based on this statement, is "Love how I was really looking forward to winning the sweet contract I bid on, but they chose someone else" a true statement? Yes/no/unknown
