[AccessD] Friday sort of OT

Well Doug, as we said many times on this forum, you gotta know when to fire
them !
Right now luckily I have 2 clients..one very un-demanding, the other...well,
let's just say they're "all political".
The latter is one of the largest computer services company in the
country...with many large government contracts (that'a a key !).
They threw me into a software project they had managed where there was :
-no requirements documents
-no design documents
-no technical documentation
-no code review was ever performed
Then BEFORE a code assessment was performed, they signed a fixed-price
contract with the client with an fixed deadline.
After I reviewed the code and found few comments or misleading comments, I
told them this was a "total rewrite".
They refused to accept that.

As I mentioned before on this forum, this is likely my last "stinker".
After 3 years of trying, I have been unable to get a long-term
contract....takes no genius to determine the reason for that.
