Phlegmatic

Fortunately a lot of the time we have to work within very tight specs, and also within a certain monetary limit you can go for whatever you want, though we are always supposed to go with the cheapest. At the higher levels everything is assessed by pre-determined criteria and then everything which meets it assessed for price and we have to go with the lowest. The time consuming part is deciding on the minimum criteria in the first place. Even then, strictly that should be down to the requesting office to supply, though generally they have no clue, so I have to make suggestions. In my home life it is harder as I have no framework to adhere to and have to make all my own decisions based on my own criteria.
