My day job for the past 20 years has involved taking big databases and turning the contents into useful reports, so I figured it would be a snore to do so for a local school district in order to earn money to buy a slick new fridge. And it was. Until they told me to change one thing (based on the draft report). And of course I have enough experience to know that if I just slapped in what they asked for it wouldn’t answer their question. So I am essentially redoing the whole thing. Before 8am monday. This sucks because I have a LOT of other stuff to do that is unlikely to get done this weekend while I do this…..
