This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm trying to compose a project charter, somehow innovatively distinguishing between the problem statement and the goals without saying in the latter "Address everything in the former."

Thank god English is so wordy. Still, tedious, and I wish we didn't have to follow this precise format.

I hope you have alcohol at lunch or in your desk.

I wish! It'd make the data funky but I'd at least have some fun.

I was gonna do as Betsy suggests and run through the office screaming about how much I hated them all but there's no one here so it would be wasted.

There's really no way to get from a pdf into excel-readable info, is there?

Scanning a printout with an optical character reader, maybe? Personally I'd trust just typing the info in more.

Some PDFs are cut and pasteable, although the format ends up a bit mangled.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

So. Running down the hall yelling "I hate you all": STILL a bad career move, or the only sane response to an insane world?

Funny, my sister just asked me the same question. Shooting people also came up somewhere.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Eh, I'll just type it in. It's not soooo much that trying to figure out a work-around won't end up taking longer.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Some PDFs are cut and pasteable, although the format ends up a bit mangled.

I've been able to copy from the pdf, paste it into Word, add the necessary tabs, and then paste from there to Excel. If the file lets you select and copy the text, that's probably you best bet.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

It's big business man, especially in the last few years. Why not?

Done! Like I said, not really worth trying to figure out a non-typing way. Of course, that was just the prep work so I could start doing the homework...
