Because books.

Maybe you could get his guidance counselor involved? Ask her/him to check on grades at the end of the week, and then s/he could get in touch with you?

Aaargh.

The after hours calls in the Fixed Pricing are estimates. We do the same thing for ALL clients. We estimate their volume at $X.XX /call…and then each month, when we have actual transaction volume and actual call center costs for each month, we calculate the Actual Transaction cost for that month. It should be close but it could be higher or lower on any given month.

That's not how it works! That's not how any of this works!

That's not fixed pricing, is it? It seems kinda ... variable.

Which is the point the client is making too. Banging my head.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I have verified that his advisor will be there tonight. I've talked with her before and I'll make sure to see her tonight.

This sounds like provisional rates until actual data is available - which is NOT FIXED PRICE.

Chipotle's Vegan menu items are going to be offered more widely - on both coasts and some places in the middle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I now think we should have one snow flurry every day, as we did today, because the old black snow looks way better with a little dusting of new white snow on top.

For what it's worth.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

No, no more snow! (You'd think that since I have lived most of my life in places with significant snowfall I'd be more tolerant of the stuff. Nope.)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I admit to one small shriek when I looked out the window and saw flurries today. I'm very winter-tolerant... most winters.
