Susan -

While I fully appreciate everything you said, I still think it would be very

"To estimate the time required for a simple project,
convert to the next higher unit of measure and multiply
by three. So, for a one-day job, allow three weeks.
For a complex project multiply by the square of the
speed of light."

...<snip>...While I don't insist on using that
metric for my own writing, as the head of a dept

into account.

Cpt Kirk - Mr. Scott, have you always multiplied your
repair estimates by a factor of four?
Cdr Scott - Certainly, Sir. How else can I keep my
reputation as a miracle worker?
