Thinking some more about this ... maybe the $4 million price tag isn't
so unreasonable after all ...
Providing hardware, software and developing web pages: $120,000
Sitting through a zillion interminable meetings with bureaucrats and the
Ever-Confused Minister Alston while discussing web strategy and whether
the red looks better than the blue and explaining the concept of dynamic
pages and content management systems:
23,000 hours at $125/hour $2,875,000
Bribes paid to staff to PLEASE go to this damn meeting for me! It wont
be all that bad and it's the 15th this week! Please I'll go crazy if I
have to go to another one this week!: $150,000
For pain and suffering through having to admit to people at cocktail
parties that you worked on the Ever-Confused Senator's web site:
$855,000
Total: $4,000,000
Knowing you've got paid $4 million for a $120k job: PRICELESS!
