In this instance, not the clients fault, actually. She's done everything she can and then some (she's a total workaholic, very competent). Indeed, I have the tragic sense that on an individual level, no one person was to blame for this mess - everyone seems to have been doing the best they could in the constraints of a busted-ass system. And as a result, I got the data I needed at 5:15 PM the day before the (already extended) due date even though they literally had months of warning.
Okay, maybe someone is to blame. Frackin' New York City Department of Education.
