i am always pleased to be taken by suprise by someone who processes information in way that out-dirties me. This week, for example, I was engaged in a serious conversation about getting approval to pay a contractor at work to return to finish a job that, according to a higher-up, was not done properly.
to fix the problem was going to cost $1700 and would involve uninstalling some hardware and reinstalling it 1.5 inches to the left.
"Is it worth it to pay $1700 for an inch and a half?" he asked, paused, and then burst out laughing.
at that point, of course, I got it.
financial crisis or not, 1.5 inches for $1700 sounds like a pretty good deal.
