This is NOT Rocket Science!

You'd Think They Were Curing Cancer Or Something...

Look, my fellow minions of The Man... You're overdue for reports that should have been able to be hammered together in a day or two. We're going on 10 weeks, now, and you're still fretting over one or two minor discrepancies that, in the long run, signify nothing. That's called the slop factor, and the review committee will believe whatever you dream up in order to explain the errors. Try using sunspots and variations in whale migration routes as excuses.

There's a phrase I want to give to you. If you're in the non-engineering or medical sections, where danger to the public health & safety is non-existent, I want you to repeat it like a mantra.

"CLOSE ENOUGH FOR GOVERNMENT WORK"
"CLOSE ENOUGH FOR GOVERNMENT WORK"
"CLOSE ENOUGH FOR GOVERNMENT WORK"
"CLOSE ENOUGH FOR GOVERNMENT WORK"
"CLOSE ENOUGH FOR GOVERNMENT WORK"

This is marketing, people, not policy. You can let it slide, and no one but me & thee will know...
