- We have a court date. On the 15th of this month (yeah, that's this coming Wednesday), I get to go explain to the judge why we shouldn't be thrown out into the street. Wish us luck, because we need all the help we can get on this.
- Honey's holding steady on the quit-smoking project. She's too stressed over our financial situation to cut back any further right now.
- My new assignment's going well. My cohort and I are taking on more responsibility, though she's a little nervous about it, because she hasn't had as much experience with this kind of analysis as I have. Our biggest frustration, I think, is with one of our other co-workers. He's from one of the Big Accounting Firms (BAF's), which I would have thought meant that he'd be an ace accountant. Sadly, this is not the case. He asks us the same questions over and over again, and even when we explain it to him over and over again, he doesn't really seem to get it. Some days we fantasize about doing him some harm, or at least gagging him and tying him to his chair so he can't pester us for awhile. He's a nice enough guy, and we know he means well and is trying to do his job, but damn... Actually, it often seems as if he's trying to get us to do his job and then take the credit for it. But we had been advised already by others on the team that people from this BAF tend to do that. So whenever someone refers to something that he presented, we let them know that we built it for him. We've also decided that maybe we're working for the wrong agency, since his bill rate is so much higher than ours, and we are so much more competent.
Well, that's the news in a nutshell.
