It’s the PA way of life. I swear for every fucking bullshit review comment I get, so I got a pretty good flow.

PwC 5 - That's my favorite type of challenge!

I would swear every 5 seconds when I had to do journal entry testing and when someone said “let me show it’s a good learning opportunity"

"Yes, goddamnit George, swear."

We added swearing to our “habit bank”. That’s the one goal we will meet as a team. It checks the box for physical, mental, spiritual and emotional. 🤬

Swear frequently but never at somebody

Hey fellow fish. I’m wanting some reference to an eclectic editing style that incorporates a bunch of filmic styles into the narrative.

I just can’t for the life of me remember what it was for. Any suggestions would be massively appreciated!

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
