I would have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for those meddling kids and their dog!

Holy mackerel!

A government agency is spending $89,000 to convert 2 hours of classroom content to an online format. The contract assumes the task will take 766 hours. How would it be physically possible to take that many hours? That is 19 weeks of full time labor.

Meanwhile I get paid $0.00 to convert 50+ hours into an online class. I am in the wrong industry!
