Yeah, just like I <em>almost</em> paid her. Today, she told me she looks forward to her next assignment. MFA, exactly. Spot on. When she's late, I'm late. When I'm late, our business is the one late. Not good. Way to point out the bigger picture. Randy, LOL. Yeah, just like I almost paid her. Today, she told me she looks forward to her next assignment.
