Bass Ackwards

• Me: When are we going live with this client?
• Coworker: Not sure. We're waiting for them to sign the contract.
• Me: What? Why did you go out and do discovery for 2 days if they haven't signed it?
• Coworker: It was one of the deliverables.
• Me: Again, how do you have deliverables if they haven't signed a contract? That doesn't make any sense.
• Coworker: That's just what happened. In any case, they have to take it to their board of directors to approve.
• Me: Their board hasn't even LOOKED at it yet?
• Coworker: No.
• Me: ~facepalm~
