A short day

Got to the client's office an hour later than the rest of my team who were there at 9 am. Why? Because I was up at 1 am the night before working on preparing my workpapers for today's partner presentation. Actually, my senior and manager are presenting to the partner; not me.

Sat around and looked busy. I just dabbled a little bit and cleaned up my references. Didn't really feel like working on a Saturday especially when the weather was so nice and warm today. At least we got lunch, I guess.

Turns out there were a few comments made by the partners, but my senior was kind of secretive about it and didn't share it with me except there was a minor immaterial oversight by the client (and in effect, his detailed review). He said he was shaking when the partners found out and asked him about it... is that the kind of culture we're here to support? A subordinate is *fearful* of receiving partner comments?

Got off work at 6 pm, so I basically spent 8 hrs today. Later drove around the Valley and landed at a Popeyes and ordered a 10 pc + mashed potato combo. Should be enough to carry me over until Wednesday I think. I'm heading off to Martin Luther King Library to return my books and get a couple hours of BEC studying in. Haven't touched the book since Thursday.
