i get paid by the hour, so it's all good. some days i work more hours, some days i work very few. it depends on what is going on. this was a big project, so it required more time. most days i don't work long hours like this. :hi:

now i am exhausted, but cannot sleep. how about that? :rofl:

Although your boss' project - THE ALABAMA SUPREME COURT - rates up WAY there in quality and prestige, I know/hope it can't match the outrages here (my comments in brackets):

Thain’s top 16 outrages.

1) $2,700 for six wall sconces.
2) $5,000 for a mirror in his private dining room.
3) $11,000 for fabric for a "Roman Shade.”
4) $13,000 for a chandelier in the private dining room.
5) $15,000 for a sofa.
6) $16,000 for a "custom coffee table.”
7) $18,000 for a “George IV Desk.”
8) $25,000 for a "mahogany pedestal table.”
9) $28,000 for four pairs of curtains.
10) $35,000 for something called a "commode on legs.”
11) $37,000 for six chairs in his private dining room.
12) $68,000 for a "19th Century Credenza" in his office.
13) $87,000 for a pair of guest chairs.
14) $87,000 for an area rug in Thain's conference room and another area rug for $44,000.
15) $230,000 to his driver for one year’s work.
16) $800,000 to hire celebrity designer Michael Smith, who is currently redesigning the White House for the Obama family for just $100,000.
