Grrrr

I just growled at my computer. Didn't actually realize I was doing it until I was already growling. Stupid client and his stupid typos and stupid stupid stupid! Gah! How am I supposed to analyze numerical data when it's riddled with typos?

I just got a submission where the author, instead of using the page number function, manually entered the page number and a hard page break on every single paged. I say we turn this down just based on the fact that it would take a week to unfuck the formatting.

That's about what we do in Law-land. I've heard of cases where courts rejected briefs for having 1.25" margins instead of 1" margins.

Yeah, see, I wish we could do that. But we're generally the ones trying to convince clients they need us, not the other way around. So I'm usually the one who has to deal with the fact that their data has the crappiest formatting imaginable.
