Speaking of managers vs. engineers, a couple of versions of the following have been circulating recently: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: John Doe To: Jack Roe Subj: Y 2 K conversion We are pleased to report that we have completed the Y 2 K conversion ahead of schedule and under budget. All our software, including archives and backups, now expresses dates in terms of: Januark Mak September Februark June October March Julk November April August December In addition, we applied the conversion to days also, using: Sundak Mondak Tuesdak Wednesdak Thursdak Fridak Saturdak The only dark cloud on this project is that the implementing engineers were _very_ unsupporting of the company's objectives. Two even resigned when I reminded them the CEO considered this top priority. I must admit that what they wanted to do seemed worthwhile. Perhaps we should mention it to the CEO. They wanted to change the format for the year from four digits to two to save space. At least I think that's what they said. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
