What is this?....We're doing the Department of Energy server upgrade today.
Nope. That job has been postponed indefinitely.
What? I spent weeks landing that contract.
And Walt spent minutes dismantling it.
Explanation. Now.
Well, it's quite simple, really. Our point person at the DOE kept saying he was going to pay us a hundred and nine thousand dollars.
Yes, that's what we agreed to. One hundred nine thousand.
No-o-o that's not what he said.
Here we go.
He said a hundred AND nine thousand dollars. That's a hundred dollar bill, and nine thousand dollars. That's substantially less than our fee.
For the love of God, Walter, it's an expression.
"Make haste not waste" is an expression. "A penny for your thoughts" is an expression.
"Not playing with a full deck" is an expression!
Exactly, but what the DOE rep said was mathematically inaccurate. And I told him. Repeatedly. People don't wanna better themselves?
The irony of that question is completely lost on you, isn't it?
