Downtime.

[tablesaw]

I'm spending some quiet time at the office reading the Questions and Answers at the website of The Chicago Manual of Style. (Note to self: convince supervisor to buy latest edition.) I'm currently very amused by the example for punctuating a multiple choice question:

Blade Runner’s Rick Deckard was, without a doubt,

(a) a replicant
(b) Sam Spade reincarnated
(c) an ordinary human being
(d) an enigma

SatNYTX: 14:30. Used the time to scare my boss.

That's funny. Even though I've never seen Blade Runner.

But more importantly, I am going to print this page and give it to the guy who is in charge of our policy manuscripts at my company. I've been trying for three years to advise him that the way the outlines are formatted is incorrect but nobody listens to me.

*sigh* What good is perfection if everyone around you is to stupid to recognize it?
