Toronto, 2011.06.27

I've come to the conclusion that running an audit from start to finish strikes me as a difficult way of making a living.

"Happily" I was by no means thrown into this cold, but today was a killer. I've spent the past several weeks developing processes, coaching staff and executives, firming up plans and communications with vendors, and essentially living in a snowstorm of paperwork.

I have certainly had easier jobs.

Three good things that happened today:

1. It rained twice today but I dodged it in both directions (because I worked so late)

2. Thanks to the audit, I was taken for Japanese food for lunch

3. Mari and Kenny had a fine day with friends.
