No, not what YOU’RE thinking…

It’s the end of the month, and we worked late, Chrissy and I, to get the billing in for some pretty decent projects we’ve done in the past month, all Rita-related. Three projects totalled more billing than we generally get in TWO months. Lots of money. Makes the boss happy, and we all want a happy boss.

Those who know me know that above all things I despise the needle in a haystack mentality associated with billing, so this was particularly painful just on that basis alone. Add to that the fact that we now have local access to the home office’s accounting and job tracking system, and now Chrissy can watch these things like a hawk. I keep telling myself that this is a good thing, but in the back of my mind I think I’m journeying into self-delusion.

Anyway, the high and low point of the night was finding that there was a $690 discrepancy between one view of a project and another. Finding that money was a two and a half hour Easter Egg hunt, and I had the rare privilege of being not only the one who FOUND it, but I was also the one who CREATED it, a sort of financial Frankenstein monster all on my own. I doubt that Chrissy will let this stay a secret…

Anyway, that’s been the evening…
