Yeah, The Canary is still alive

I am now fairly well convinced that absofuckinglutely no one will be fired from this project. First of all, The Canary is still with us. He still doesn't spend a lot of time in his seat, but he apparently coes enough documents to avoid the ax. The agency isn't going to fire him for being a turd -- they get paid based on how many hours he works. If the firm complains he is a turd, the agency will simply explain that he's worked for them a lot and there never have been any complaints. But the firm won't complain he's a turd as long as his numbers are in an acceptable range. Apparently, they are, although God knows how. Of course, you can code a lot of documents in a short time if you mark everything non-responsive without reading it. I suspect that's where we are with this guy. So nobody is worried about getting canned. The Canary lives. Not as cool as "the Dude abides," but it will have to do.
