I’ve done 62 jobs from the Thieves Guild, but haven’t gotten a single one for Windhelm. Am I bugged

I have completed the main quest line. I have done 62 jobs for the Thieves Guild, consecutively, over the course of a few (real life) days, little by little. I have done a variety of jobs from both Vex and Devlin, and I have been given and completed THREE of the FOUR special jobs. Not a single one of my 62 jobs has been in Windhelm, and as such, that is the last remaining "special" job (Summerset Shadows), according to the wiki.

What do I do? Do I have to do something specific in Windhelm to begin getting jobs there? If I'm bugged, how do I get the achievement?

My version number is 1.4.27.0.4, and this is on the PC.

EDIT: Well, I've been doing it for about 2 hours since making this question. There's simply no way my luck is that bad — the game will simply not give me Windhelm jobs. The only thing special about Windhelm is that I captured it (as I sided with the Imperials) as part of the Imperial questline.

I finally found the solution for this today after much frustration. If you attacked Windhelm with the Imperials and killed Ulfric, but left before Tullius could leave the room and give his speech then the Thieves Guild quests for Windhelm will be bugged. Simply go back into the palace, let Tullius and Rikke leave, listen to the speech and talk to them, and then go talk to Delvin and Vex, and this fixes the bug.
