Perhaps more worrying is that they have apparently decided that we're
goig to keep a record of every user account ever created... using an
Excel spreadsheet.
*facepalm*

Then step in and advise them accordingly.

Yes. Because they're *really* going to take notice of what *I* say. :-P
For some reason, my opinion was not deemed necessary when drafting this
procedure. And now it's been finalised. Only *now* do I get to look at
it. Obviously it's not too late to change anything unless I can come up
with a *really* compelling reason. (And "this is an inefficient way to
do it" doesn't count as compelling enough.)
Still, this is what happens when you work for a bunch of people who
don't think things through properly, and who regard you as a clueless
idiot...

And don't forget the paradigm shift for results-oriented continuity as
well as ensured global policy and standardization of operations and
procedures ...

A different paradigm for user-centralized ad-hoc data visualization and
rapid results-based internalized customer advocacy?

So... you have found a Markov-chain text generator?

They certainly are guaranteed to not take notice of what you say if you
say nothing.

Frighening, eh?
Sometimes I do sit down and attempt to construct a sentence which *does*
convey the correct meaning, but is never the less maximally technical.
"We apppear to be experiencing copious quantities of solid-phase aqueous
precipitation in the lower troposphere currently."
This is slightly different to constructing sentences which are very
wordy but don't "say" anything. My sister has taken this to an art form.
I truly mean that. I read one of her reports for school once. I managed
to get through 3 pages, all the while thinking "gee, this stuff is
really good". And then I suddenly realised "wait a sec - you haven't
*said* anything yet!" True genius. No wonder she got such excellent
grades...

There was a conference on linguistics or some such where the authors took
markov chains from a few earlier papers and constructed a completely random
paper to submit, got it accepted, and presented it. They were apparently up
to the fifth or sixth slide before people started to catch on that it was
literally random nonsense.
