No if I hit the "like" button, I genuinely like it.  Same with the other buttons.

At this point I just assume I'm going to get dedded right away.  With exception to the last mafia round, I managed to survive to the end a few times lately so I wouldn't be surprised to be in hot seat early again, at least for a while.  

I liked your last post because I've seen those early college programs pop up in local high schools.  My brother in law took advantage of it and he has 2 years of college credits already.  I think it's great in these times of ridiculously high tuition fees.

i keeeeed

That's 'approved language'.  Totally different from plagiarism.  It's the same exact in the petro industry.  They have teams of lawyers that have 'approved' language.  If you want to change anything, even spec language, it needs to be redlined and sent to them back and forth approx 40+ times before you just go back to the original since you don't feel like fighting anymore.

120+ times in nuclear.

Getting concurrences is like 20% of my time. I get it and I'm used to it. 

Recently public affairs has been really pissing me off. They literally change their "rules" without notice every 4-6 weeks. Completely arbitrary shit too: Like a new shade of blue for split bars, new font scheme, or logo switches sides of page. Meanwhile the delays are chasing away "customers" and giving us a reputation of being hard to work with.

I had a project I began in November, worked hand-in-hand and followed their procedures for getting approvals. They waited until the due date for EVERY little ask. Finally got it all done in early February. They changed their rules TWICE during that time, causing a 2 week slip each time. Customer was getting pissed with every week.

I had a meeting with my management later about it. I snarkly asked if I could get transferred to public affairs. When they asked why, I said that I wanted to be a low level employee who can force the whole agency to change on a whim, and then change it all two weeks later, and two weeks after that. They got the message.

Change the rules without notice, that is my procurement department. Have to completely restart process instead of from where change was made. Takes forever to get anything, have a $30 million construction contract  it takes at least 3 months to get new work approved.

With regards to plagarism, I know of two different standards agencies have a standard on the same topic. The standards are so similar, you cant tell them apart. If identifying marking were removed it would be hard to tell difference between standards. Could make a hell of a case for plagarism

Uh, it takes at least 3 months to get minimal new work approved here.  Got projects under $200k that were sent into contracting early this year that are still getting ping-ponged back to me for minor stuff, including them suddenly changing their forms after submittal.

*sigh*

My contract is a blanket that individual tasks can be issued under. How subcontracting goals were reported got changed so that makes a difference on whether contractor is meeting goals, now trying to get option term approved. 

One day subcontracting goal is versus total amount of contract, next time goal is versus paid to date
