Working away...

The job I'm working on right now has been quite "interesting"......

1.  What we're dealing with are two very complicated topics.  It took me, a co-worker and two partners about a total of 6 hours to figure out how their transactions work and how we're supposed to deal with it.

2.  This is the first time I'm working with this co-worker and it's somewhat stressful.  It's easier to talk to her than the other two guys that I've worked with, but the interaction is not the same.  With the other guys, I'm pretty much free to do whatever part of the job I want.  With this person, she's in the position to take on more of a leadership role.  I must admit she's much brighter and more experienced than I am, but I dislike the fact that she seems to expect that she should tell me what to do.  I've done entire jobs on my own.  It really doesn't need to be like this.  On top of that, we work at the client 9am to 6:30pm and she still goes back to the office to do more.  Sorry, but I can't afford to do that.  She lives a 1min walk from the office.  She can leave the office anytime and be home in 2 minutes.  For me, it'll cost another $15-$20 to park at the office and another 30min to get home.  Unfortunately, this puts me in a bad position.

3.  The client site is interesting.  Lots of cars going in and out.  The fancy ones aren't on site, but I know they deal with them.  Everything from Honda to Mercede to BMW, and everything form Porsche to Ferrari to Lambourghini, and even Bentley and Rolls Royce.

4.  The most amusing part of this all is to see that there are people out there that will pay thousands of dollars a month to lease a luxury car.  But, if you're that rich and can afford to spend thousands of dollars on a car each month, why not just buy the car?  If you're that rich, the cost of the car is relatively inexpensive anyway, no?
