*plots to eat more ugly fish*
in other news, after i amended the hell out of the goddamned
paper i'm writing, the mad boss decides to add another pile of
stuff and wants me to add to it too..
oh well.. at least this isn't limited to a wordcount or
something... not like the other projects where the focus was "to
show a little.. doesn't have to mean anything, just a trailer"
became a huge clusterfuck of "everything also must put in"
so after 1 whole month of rewrites, the initial writeup was
accepted...
here's the insanity:
"this must be a very high level view"
"we must put all these things in" (very very nitty-gritty
small inconsequential things)
"this is too detailed"
"where is <various trivial things>?"
"not high level enough.. we must take a overview of things"
"we need to put in the details"
"why are there so many details?"
"the directors will want their projects stated"
"this is too specific.. we must have a high level view"
and so on and so forth until we go back to the initial
writeup...
that's how my boss works...
