- You're conducting your first extended consulting gig at a client office, and the person who is supposed to go along with you to get you up to speed cancels after you arrive on site.
- The client calls an emergency meeting for their entire staff first thing in the morning to announce that the office is closing and all the jobs are moving to Atlanta
- After debating whether or not to reschedule everything you decide to proceed, but the first interview you conduct is interrupted so that the client can hug and say goodbye to the guy being escorted to the door by security.
That was all before 11 AM. I wonder what tomorrow wil bring...
Is everything okay!? How does this affect you?
Was this your client? A big one? Let me know.

Whaaa? Are you consulting there in an HR capacity? I hope not for your sake. That could be quite interesting.
Are you going back on Tuesday???

I think this is a really funny post. Maybe I shouldn't, but I do. But I have no pants.

Oh man. Yeah, that's a rough start to a week...and a year.

Yeah, I love consulting. I have shown up before and the PM (project manager) was expecting an indian man instead of a pretty pale white pregnant chick with no consulting experience.
That was fun. I lasted 3 days on that project.
