Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I know no PM references.
Till I came here I PMed with no instruction and no resources. Since being here I recognise the benefit of a documented methodology, and the training has been basically useful. But DAMN. For a standard project here, we're talking .... 50 required documents (including some separate signoffs and go/no go) for a standard sized project.
Your ass is covered, but your hands could fall off with the typing.

What do you call the document where they tell you what they need?

I should add, he may be woo-woo, but he does endear himself to me when he says things like "Keep your gaze on the big toe" and then three seconds later add, "Your own big toe."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ita, you might get some use out of this book [link] which is more political than technical. IIRC, considering it was for a class I had in the fall and hated. Actually, if you want mine, I'd sell it to you cheap...

All they need from us is the finished product and possibly design work for marketing materials. We do not encourage them needing much from us. We are not working with folks the same way you are.

You don't provide everyone with exactly the same product, though, right? At some point (near the beginning) don't they say "Blue, tweed, five inches long and lemon-scented, please."?
Jesse, that's just the sort of book I love to have on my bookshelf. Name a price (don't forget shipping!) and I'll paypal you the funds.

Suh-weet! I was considering holding on to it, but honestly, I'm not going to be a project manager. AND I have to go to the post office tomorrow or Saturday. Or some other day in the near future. $30?

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

So, same old same old?
