Adrian, your becoming a rocket scientist was a tragic waste of an excellent writer.

Heeeeeeeeheheheee thanks for having a sensa huma Adrian.  No worries, I have seen plenty of research proposals.  Fortunately I was never in the management end of the biz (a tech lead is not really management) so my job was to review the science fiction my superiors were presenting to our customer.  That didn’t win me any favors.  {8^D

 

That being said: if management gets nice paychecks, well OK then.  They are perhaps the best-paid masters of creative writing.  I was the numbers guy who was always throwing cold reality on their wettest dreams.
