Mesirow Exhibit D - the itemization of employees/tasks, as text

By Pamela Jones et al.

Here, after many struggles, we have Exhibit D [PDF] as text, Mesirow Financial Consulting's itemization of employee tasks as the firm slaved away on SCO's behalf between September 14 and November 20, 2007. $449,702.30. For 1,263 hours.

A volunteer worked on this for a couple of days, and we struggled to find a format that would look as close to the original as possible while still working in Geeklog, and this is maybe the 7th try. So we hope you like it! He is one of the many, many volunteers who prefers to stay anonymous, so we'll just say a hearty thank you. It was a lot of work. If you note any errors, which in 53 pages of minutia is certainly possible, let us know, please, so we can perfect it.

He also did a couple of lovely bar graphs, for us showing the who-did-what-when at a glance, and as you'll see, two employees, Lyle Bauck and Bill Fasel, are the gladiators, as he put it, working 10 to 15-hour days, and the second chart showing dollars billed per day, so you can see who is bringing home the bacon. Everyone's got Saturday and Sunday hours, too. I put the charts on their own page, so they can be full size without slowing down the loading of this page.
