Rolling off the client Friday, and all my work is inaccessible because my computer doesn’t want to boot up… The blue screen of death won’t go away. So I guess this is the part where I cry? 😤 😤 😰

Hope you figured it out. Usual blue screen procedure for me: try a hard reset, take out the battery, press the esc button quickly to get to boot options.

But all my work that’s not done gets passed on to someone else.... I’d be pissed if I had to take over someone’s work lol.

The computer was not booting up Wednesday... had to get it re-configured… I’ve actually been up all night trying to play catch-up. But I see a light 😅

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and 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?
