Internal Monologue
Sep. 27th, 2006 04:21 pmStated in a meeting with the head of development, the tech pubs writer (moi), and the head of marketing:
HoM: So why are we late in delivering this product?
HoD: Part of the problem is because the developers didn't return the review copies of the documentation back to the writer by his deadline.
HoM: Well that's not surprising since just the User's Guide is over 400 pages long! (looks at me meaningfully) We're going to have to find a way to make the user docs shorter so that we can keep to our schedule! (laughs)
Moi (inner monologue): Well maybe if you produced a product that wasn't so convoluted in its design, it wouldn't require over 450 pages to explain it.
I am the King of Discretion. I also trained at the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
toughlovemuse School of Repressing Your First Impulse. It's really paying off.
