Quick update on this project... I have finished (after 7 tries) amking a financial module that actually works. Of course there is another problem, which I was complaining about in IRC.

[14:40] <MelBot> <Hoi> So, got your module thing working?

[15:52] <--| hoijui has left #sy
[15:52] <Forboding_Angel> Yep, finally
[15:53] <Forboding_Angel> Only took 3 days
[15:53] |<-- [BOT]tizbacbrid has left quakenet (EOF from client)
[15:54] <MelBot> <Hoi> finally!
[15:54] <MelBot> <Hoi> I'm also done!
[15:56] <MelBot> <Hoi> viewtopic.php?f=9&t=8864&p=308772#p308772
[15:56] <MelBot> <Hoi> hehe
[16:04] <Forboding_Angel> nice hehehe
[16:04] <Forboding_Angel> Ya know
[16:04] <Forboding_Angel> even now that my financial module works
[16:05] <MelBot> <Hoi> yeh?

[16:05] <Forboding_Angel> I can't get quickbooks to generate a report that includes the descriptions so all I have his hte memo field to work with that doesn't give me hardly anything :-/

[16:07] <Forboding_Angel> For example, this is an entire memo field. Vietnamese Layout: 6 hours at $50.00 per hour.

[16:07] <Forboding_Angel> That's all fine and good, but you dunno who translated it, how much we paid for the translating, editing, proofing, etc etc

[16:07] <Forboding_Angel> who requested the job

[16:08] <Forboding_Angel> who our contact was for the job
[16:08] <Forboding_Angel> and so on

[16:08] <Forboding_Angel> Which sucks... greatly

[16:09] <MelBot> <Hoi> I have no idea what you're talking about:)

lol@ hoi for that last line... But it's coming together... of sorts...

Just tell them to act like a 15/yr doing an SMS, ie:

VL 6h@50 TR@20K OB TCIAFI IQ FYA

Translation: Vietnamese Layout, 6hrs @ $50/hour, Translation cost $20,000, project is Over Budget because The Client Is A Fucking Idiot and I Quit. Fuck You All.

Why are you hyped for going into a meeting where a bunch of people will be trying to come up with excuses to pay you less than it was agreed upon? :)
