God I miss the days when I was just a freak and occasional barker. 

Somehow I've been put as lead on the business end of things for this project, and anyone who has ever played any 4X game with me knows I DO NOT ENJOY BEING A BEAN COUNTER.  That's not to say I can't DO it. 

My problem here is I'm in charge of what I need here in Utah.  When it's folks from my company in Virginia who is paying for the stuff they decided to hire a California company to install the crap. (when a utah company was cheaper and didn't have to travel, no less...this is why I hate bean counting, that makes sense to someone)

There was a half-mil $ screw up on the part of the manufacturers, and California decided to go ahead and install it instead of delaying the project, without telling us.  So, 3/8 of my project is now defective parts.

California wants to come in and replace the defective parts as warranty work (because then the manufacturers pay them to install AGAIN), which would disrupt our business another 2 weeks. 

Utah and Virginia just want a rebate for some portion of the parts that are defective but functional as the defect doesn't hinder us at all. 

Meanwhile, in Utah, I need some change orders done which amounts to a few hundred dollars in order to keep the overall targets going forward, and I can't finish the last 1/8th without these change orders. 

California won't order parts unless we pay for them. 

Virginia won't pay for them until the rebate/defect situation is settled.   

I'm literally ready to just pay for the damn stuff out of my halloween budget and go through the recuperation paperwork.

ugggg.  Sounds like all the schools I have worked for.

Well.  Great way to start a crappy day, with a 2 hour senseless meeting.

Nothing like some light reading of strategic analysis of the global military situation and how it impacts US policy to pass 5 hours of wasting my time.

We have fascinating waiting room material.
