Day-to-day is making voodoo dolls of PE associates then responding to questions like "Hey I know the business is hundreds of millions of EBITDA but can you bridge the MoM increase in other SG&A?  Looks like it's up $5,253.12 vs. last month.  What's driving this?  How much if anything should be Non-recurring? Can you provide recon?" to which you source the answer by reaching out to one of your 7 CFO/Controllers responsible for holding together what is effectively 15 unintegrated businesses together with shoestring and bubblegum.  For your troubles, you can take home ~$300k plus units with vesting provisions that may as well be written in sandskrit.

(I would guess)
