Contract jobs often overlapped other jobs, and having employees extended my scope.
Programming is Fun, especially when a qualified team cooperates intensely.
In the Role column, E means employee; C means contractor.
In the Value column, the word millions means at least one million saved by efficiencies or earned by sales. Some projects were Essential to keeping the organization in business; some saved thousands. In several cases, information from the General Ledger was not available.
