Guest guest Posted August 30, 2002 Report Share Posted August 30, 2002 Hi Vera. How was Vegas? Was your premonition right? My computer crashed big time this week. Took a month's worth of work with it - billing and all. Pretty thorough at least :-) But, that's nothing... also found out that the work we're doing now - won't be reimbursed until (probably) October or November. Long story, but... suffice it to say - my work is funded by the government :-) Good thing money is not an essential thing to living - right? :-) Eyes freaking. Going to sign off. Eyes seem to be really regressing. Other things too. At least I've hardly thrown up today (so far)... got diarrhea instead :-) If it's not one thing (end)... it's the other (end) :-) Catcha later. (Long as you're not as heavy as Fred :-) Take Care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 31, 2002 Report Share Posted August 31, 2002 , You need to try cutting your hours and/or getting a siesta time each day to re-charge. All symptoms get worse when you are over tired, often a hour or two nap will re-charge you. ) So you are facing the old end of fiscal year government budget blues ) I remember that I often faced that problem - they give you a budget and you plan for that amount of money, then about April - the politicians take back some of your planned budget money (one year 30%) - by August you are broke and the pollies then complain about "lazy government workers". The real "LAZY government workers" are politicians who don't give real workers their budgets before the fiscal year starts so they can plan thier work load for the year. Can you imagine an auto manufacturer telling it's designers to build a car without knowing what price range it would fit? Hope your salary did not go to drop an extra bomb and you get your pay. Wonder if Bush robbed to pay ) His dad once gave me $487,000 ($475,000 was salaries) in October and six months later cut it back to $332,000 after I had committed to several jobs and deadlines (and spent $247,000 of my budgeted money). I lost my bonus because I had to lay off half my staff and could not meet my deadlines. But he blamed us "lazy government workers" ) Take care, Bill ==================================== pulalupu wrote: Hi Vera.How was Vegas?
