For the past week I’ve been trapped under the biggest contract in the world. Hundreds and hundreds of pages of over-lawyered, one-sided, risk-averse verbiage, it has filled my every waking minute and haunted my dreams.
On Wednesday and Thursday I spent a total of 11 hours on the phone to our outhouse lawyer, going over our review of this enormo-contract ahead of the deadline for submission of comments on Friday lunchtime. This being public procurement, that deadline was immovable under pain of exclusion from bidding.
