The biggest thing in my head was losing to a sophomore. I was like, 'I'm not going to lose to a sophomore, I'm a senior, it's my last chance, I'm going to stick it to him' and I did.

We never gave up, never settled for anything, just played hard. We got down here and unfortunately ended up losing it.

We did do very well in the transactions over $100 million that we chose to pursue, signing 11 and losing only one competitively, ... But the consistent deferral of mega-deals resulting from customers caution about their own businesses in this economic environment has had a significant impact on the growth of our outsourcing revenue.

That motivated us a lot. We didn't want to be the team that goes out losing to Atchison. We really wanted to get it done.

For once I'm not the guy losing my temper all the time.

They're literally losing weight night after night.
