Background. My boss and I were a little puzzled at the most recent project we were invited to bid on. We thought that, if it were as straightforward as it looks (and has been presented) then we would expect the client organisation to have done it themselves.
Casual conversation with a colleague at the client organisation, about workload and adapting to a new consultancy.
idling: We've just put in our proposal for the next job.
colleague: Which scheme are you working on next?
idling: [names the scheme]
colleague: [laughter]
Fills me with confidence, that does.
