Stats

"That's what governments are for — get in a man's way."
Malcolm Reynolds

I'm busy trying to figure out the government reporting software for the Department of Commerce. This is for their economic census report, something I've been ignoring based on the fact that it takes up so much time. They've noticed my ignoring them so they're threatening to send me to the Department of Justice if I don't file, so I suppose I've got my incentive now, albeit negative. At the moment it requires figuring out how to use a cheesy software program they created. Yeah, government employees as software developers. You get the picture. Next is a call to tech support in Washington. I suppose someone like me that loves to throw around numbers shouldn't grumble too much when I'm asked to provide them.
