One for you, and one for you...
Apr. 8th, 2009 10:13 pmOur major client is a government department, and at regular intervals they get us to run the process which dishes out wodges of funds to [name redacted]. We'd never got round to adding up exactly how much, but out of idle curiosity, we did today.
Wow. Just the two of us, in charge of $190 million. That's quite a lot, really.
If only the New Zealand taxpayers could see their way clear to tossing us a million or three of that. You know, as a gratuity. For services rendered. But alas, as others have found out to their cost when they've attempted to redress this oversight, the department tends to have rather definite views about that. Curse you, checks and balances!
