Good afternoon, Nick.
Good evening, George.
How are you?
I'm doing pretty well. How's the, the new year treating you?
Uh, very, very busy. Uh, before you blink, it's, uh, what, 10% of the year gone so. Uh, quite busy. Um, how about yourself?
Yep. Same here with us. It seems like it's, uh, well, in our part of the world, the, all the government contracts are kind of up for renewal at the end of March, so it's a busy season for proposals and that sort of thing. So, uh, yeah, definitely a busy time.
Is that the same? Um, as with the government's, uh, budgets around the world? Like if you didn't spend money being. Diligent and, you know, [00:01:00] careful with spends and you didn't spend the money, which sounds like a good thing, but actually it's a bad thing because say, oh, you, so you didn't need all that money, so we're not gonna give it to you again.
Yep. That's the, that's the same things we see
so you're working like, uh. Uh, 39 billable hours per day.
At least. Oh yeah. At
At least. At least someone did manage to, uh, rack up, uh, something like, uh, you know, 32 billable hours per day, working on four, four different projects. And, uh, during covid, no one checks. It's like, whatever. Um. Anyway, so what's, uh, what's new in our professional world, what you've been up to.
