Please tell me what you think working document means in the following exchange:

Moving forward, will you want me to compile these bi-weekly for you? Is this method, of me making an estimation of hours spent, the way you would like it done, or would you like me to send you a blank form?

Will this be a working document moving forward? If yes, I would like for you and (name) to complete the document moving forward and send to me for my signature.

A belated happy birthday to Trudy and BT!

msbelle, that's some horseshit. What kind of incomprehensible doublespeak is that?

I do not KNOW? It is a timesheet due to HER boss every 2 weeks. Working document is like an evolving document changing as the situation warrants it, right? I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SHE MEANS AND THIS IS HOW SHE IS!!

I really really tried to ask yes or no questions or pose this or that options. and yet she still did not just answer them.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yes...you can't complete and submit a working document, that's not what those words mean.

I'm sorry, msbelle. The more times I ready those words the less I understand them.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

msbelle, I believe I would interpret it as "agreed upon final version" and/or "something that we're really for sure going to do", I think. (I'm trying to hear it in my boss' voice and figure out how I would interpret it - my boss loves corporate catch phrases and doublespeak).

Msbelle you sent the first paragraph and she sent the second? I'm stumped. Also, how on earth can you estimate her time for her?! Like, is she in meetings alll day so you can say "1 hour project X, 3 hours project y"?
