Billings...

[alexpgp]

So I got to thinking about how this year's billings compare with those of previous years, and in particular, about my "grades" for billings during any given month, which covered the gamut from "Outstanding" to "Below Dismal."

Without giving out numbers, if my "Good" corresponded to a score of 100, then my "Outstanding" scored 117, my "Mediocre" scored 78, and my "Dismal" scored 44.

The grades were based on the way things were going at the time, and the only thing I have to say today is: My, how things have changed! Using those grade names of yesteryear, my average so far for 2016 is not quite halfway between Dismal and Mediocre, and that's only because I'm fixing to put in a solid Mediocre month for April.

I don't know if I should "recalibrate" the names downward. The slowdown I've been experiencing does not seem willing to end, and it's not just affecting me That said, for the time being, I will keep these names. Maybe they will help me Try Harder™. Of maybe Trying Harder™ is not the solution, or only part of the solution.

We'll see.

For now, I need to finish off one more assignment for April and get some invoices out the door.

Then I can "turn to" on the remaining items on my plate.

Cheers...
