And generate some (cobol source) conversion routines. End. Then I hand it all over one day before scheduled deadline, and say "don't even ask what a 60 hour week looks like" (anyway I always buy red or pink cigarette lighters, cause the color matches my eyes - I'd always look like having worked 60).
