so communications and coordination are still prone to get messed up at this time - by this weekend we should be free of it!
In a similar vein, I hate having to do it, but I've had to continuously hassle my last/current customer to pay me. Ever since I switched working from working for their R&D group to their test engineering group, I haven't received a penny, though I have submitted invoices exactly as I was instructed to. Finally, this morning we get to the bottom of it - even though the engineer I am working with was getting PO#s approved and had filled out the forms, no one in accounting was LOOKING for new POs to pay against because no one had CALLED them to tell them to look for the new POs (in spite of the fact that the whole system in computerized and tied into their Lotus Notes email system).. Sigh. Hopefully I'll start get check soon. I've got about another week or so worth of work left, and then I am done - and I too am searching for new (contract) work.
