Some angry subject line or something
The Math Undergraduate Office's idiotic guidelines for work reports have forced me to take a knife to my own baby. The 65-page masterpiece, which I lovingly (if begrudgingly) was hired to compile, has been deemed too long by some henchman (well henchwoman, actually, judging from the name) so I had to butcher it mercilessly to fit into the sickeningly unrealistic 20-pages-and-not-a-word-more format they refer to as a "compromise".
It is painfully obvious that none of those goons have ever worked a real office job in their lives. Reports that are 2000 words in length are a pipe dream; no real information can be conveyed through them. Real reports are usually over 100 pages long and go into excruciating and unnecessary detail. My report did not do that. It covered only the important information, and it all had to be stripped away. Luckily, my employers have evaluated the true copy, so they weren't left puzzling over my choices and results.
And I fucking swear that if I get ONE comment on my evaluated work report about my APA citations -- especially if the douchebag evaluating my report will correct them to MLA format -- heads will roll.
Fuck you, MUO, for making my work seem so painfully trivial.
