Pieces Begin to Fit

I had a long-term to-do to move “Jimmy’s” cost from one cost center to another.  It wasn’t a burning priority and I didn’t really have a great way to do it, so it has sat for some time.  But I couldn’t believe there was a Türk named Jimmy.

I wrote down “Jimmy” in handwritten notes in a meeting.  Months later, I realize it’s actually Cemil (the C is a hard J), which makes a heck of a lot more sense.

Getting names down in a domestic organization is hard enough.  It’s staggeringly difficult in a foreign country!
