My scoring job ended today, this afternoon. It was supposed to end next Friday. Now, these reader projects are always unreliable when it comes to death dates. The five or six I did last year ended earlier than scheduled. My problem with this one is that it ended less than halfway through the allotted period; what was supposed to take place for up to nine days (we started Tuesday) took less than four. And as some whose primary income will soon be jobs like this, I would appreciate at least a little more accuracy. If I know it's only a week-long assignment, dammit, tell me.

They did have the decency to pay all of us through the end of the day. Will not be ungrateful about that -- at least.
