Is this where the focus group meets? It says Conference Room A-21 and the sign on the door says Con Room A-21. Is that the same thing? Where is the restroom? Can I get a drink there? I mean some water, of course, unless you can offer a gal a real drink. How much is this gonna pay? What’s that cartoon on your desk? Hmmm. I don’t get it. That’s a funny lookin’ kid you got there! Is that your wife in the picture? How long you been married?.. ---

The concept plan is right on my desk. It looks good, just like we finally worked out. Now I’m waiting on IT to get me the mailing labels so we can set up the public meeting. Assuming that the public meeting goes well, no major objections, it’ll only take another month or so to get final design. Then, say, another month for final corrections, then a month for bidding, then we’ll get on the board meeting schedule for award of contract. Shouldn’t be any problem with environmental approvals, the project looks to be categorically exempt. Probably. After award, we’ll get the attorney to draft up the contract, then send it to the contractor. Give it another few weeks and the contractor will return it, hopefully with the proper bonds, signatures, and insurance documents. If not, damn. But if so, it’ll go to back to the attorney for approval as to form, to Risk Management for a check of the insurance, then to the CEO for signature. We’ll then schedule the preconstruction conference and hash out when the contractor can actually start. It’s coming right along. ---

Hey, I already sent out the memo saying that I would be doing this, not that, if no one raised objections by the end of the day… Yes, I sent it out at 4:50 PM on a Friday. So what? Yeah, yeah. Whatever, talk to Nick. I’m busy here. ---

If you don’t stop submitting changes it’s never going to get done. Are you willing to pay overtime for weekend work? I thought not.
