So here I am, in Connecticut for the week, part of a team sent here to conduct an audit of the Government folks who work at a major defense contractor’s plant. It’s not a fun undertaking, as most of the people are convinced we’re there to eliminate their jobs, or rat them out to their supervisors about something perceived or real (we’re not). To make it worse, the weather has been absolutely miserable, with constant rain and gray skies. The days have been long, beginning around 7 a.m. and continuing until 6 p.m. or later, with more number crunching and stats to pull together after we’ve returned to our hotel. Worse, I leave here on Friday and head directly to upstate New York (no offense to any New Yorkers intended) to conduct a similar audit at another office we have there, beginning on Monday. No passing “Go” and collecting $200. Go directly to Owego, NY.
