You know the scene in The Practice where the partners come into Tom Cruise's new office one by one and drop off big ol' binders on his desk? I don't have quite that much, and most of the people here didn't use the "this is the most important thing" line. But there is a huge amount of documentation on this project already, plus all the "normal" paperwork associated with working for a financial institution.
I expect it to be two or three weeks before I can make it through a meeting without stopping at least five times to ask for a definition of terms/acronyms.
