That’s Crazy

          By this time, the contract had generated enough revenues to cover our

          salaries.

               I was able to land another contract valued at 3 million dollars with

          another  federal  agency  and  we  also  had  to  hire  an  additional  five

          people.

               The  day  Shannon  was  hired,  crazy  stuff  immediately  began.

          Before Shannon joined the team there was harmony, everyone worked
