Let's Do Some Open Letters, Shall We?
Dear the People who sent us a ten thousand page (yes, you read that right, that is: a number of pages signified by the numeral “1” followed by four zeros) PDF table, comprised of a half-million (yes, that's 500,000) entries across sixteen columns, which you asked us to convert to Word so that it could then be placed in an Excel spreadsheet; a project which the entire department of like, fifteen people have been working on around the clock for about the last three solid weeks, and which was finally completed on Saturday afternoon, who decided -- on Sunday morning -- that you didn’t need it after all?
Thank you for doing that while I was on vacation.
Seriously, when I finally ascend to power, your deaths, though inevitable, will be relatively quick and painless.
Best,
Rosey
EDITED TO CLARIFY: I was not actually en vacances during the entire process, only during the final week, during which the crunch was on to finish the job, and during which the decision was made that we might as well not have bothered. The way I understand it, the job was finished, the author was notified, and the response was like, "oh, did you still have that? Yeah, we figured out that none of that actually had to happen. I'm surprised nobody told you. Huh."
