Ah yes, another day, another global policy document to read. This one 
talks about a process to "ensure continued continuity". Wonderful stuff...

 Well, you have to ensure that the continuity is continued otherwise 
non-continued continuity can't be continued.

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.

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.
