Whew! For a minute there I thought I might have to work late!!!
End of the financial year today. I thought I (we) were going to have to stay past 5 PM to process expense payments.

Luckily we are doing it tomorrow.

I'M NOT KIDDING THAT WAS CLOSE!

:bounce:I've got a European job surrounded by uber corporate America.:bounce:

1. I know what you mean.
I thought I was going to have to work late too. But, I managed to get all caught up today. Even had time to play a little! :evilgrin:

There are parts of this job I really like. :D

4. I can't say that...
...but they hate when we work O/T - it comes off the top of their budget, and we're strapped enough as it is.

5. Hooray!
US based too- My wife (her whole office) sit in amazement at how easy/slack my job is and the organization is. Oh well, they don't make enough more than me to make it worth it.

6. Yep...
the main satisfaction I get, other than liking my job and doing it well for my own self... is that I get to inject my principals into this nether world fwiw... and I don't feel an iota of guilt for what they give me... grrr
