We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I'm in the middle of a proposal that can only be 20 pages, double spaced. We'll probably send 60 pages of appendices.

The company I used to work for once put in for a project where the RFP said "no more than 25 pages". So we complied with that, and it was incredibly difficult, and the proposal was pared down to the bare bones.

None of the other companies complied with the rule, and we didn't get the job, because all the other firms used appendices, and our proposal looked like we hadn't taken it seriously. ::facepalm::

Oh FFS.

Generally, I like having space limitations because it helps me keep people focused and gives me a way to fight back against the pages and pages of BS that some folks want to include. But there has to be some level of reasonableness - when they ask a complex question and give you 500 characters, it's just pointless.

(This post would not fit within that limit, for example.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Uggggh.

Oh yeah, that's a favorite of mine, too.

Darby and I are now headed out trick or treating. All the neighborhood businesses (like 20+ stores and restaurants) are participating, as a benefit for a rescue group. Should be fun!

She was going to be a triceratops but I think having something on her head for long will be upsetting, so instead we are resurrecting the landshark.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Bad: I am sneezing like a mofo.

Good: Replacement electric blanket! I can now face winter.
