Exhausted.
That sums up my day in two words.
I hit the office at 7am this morning. In the days leading up to today, my consultants assured me they were ahead of the curve and would have their documents to me, no problem, for today's deadline.
I left the office at 9pm.
Thumbs up!
Good job you buncha highly educated morons!

"I got a job offer" (for quite a livable wage I might add)
He has one semester to go. Come May he will graduate with a ME degree.
Elated.
Houston, we have a successful launch.
ugh, I charge extra when I hear I have to work with client with their own consultant... I call it the "aggravation" factor. I find that most get paid by the pound of paperwork they can generate, so they have zero incentive to actually complete a project.
