DIFFERENT APPROACHES ARE BEING TRIED We are still pissing in the wind. AN EXTENSIVE REPORT IS BEING PREPARED ON A FRESH APPROACH TO THE PROBLEM We just hired three kids fresh out of college. CLOSE PROJECT CO-ORDINATION We know who to blame. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IS ASSURED We are so far behind schedule the customer is happy to get it delivered. PRELIMINARY OPERATIONAL TESTS WERE INCONCLUSIVE The bastard blew up when we switched it on. TEST RESULTS WERE EXTREMELY GRATIFYING We're surprised the thing works. THE ENTIRE CONCEPT WILL HAVE TO BE ABANDONED The only person who understood the thing quit. IT IS IN THE PROCESS It's so wrapped up in red tape that the situation is about hopeless. WE WILL LOOK INTO IT Forget it! We have enough problems for now. PLEASE NOTE AND INITIAL Let's spread the responsibility for the screw up. GIVE US THE BENEFIT OF YOUR THINKING We'll listen to what you have to say as long as it doesn't interfere with what we've already done. GIVE US YOUR INTERPRETATION I can't wait to hear this bull! ALL NEW Parts not interchangeable with the previous design. RUGGED Too damn heavy to lift! LIGHTWEIGHT Lighter than RUGGED. YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT One finally worked. ENERGY SAVING Achieved when the power switch is off. LOW MAINTENANCE Impossible to fix if broken. FEATURE We can't fix the bug so we've documented it and call it a "feature". |
