bironic: Neil Perry gazing out a window at night (wilson embarrassed)
Today's workday is brought to you by the sentence, "Interdepartmental communication is a GOOD thing." This email volley I had with the manager of another department is the least of it:
Manager: I spoke with the Doctor. I will take care of the [thing he has to take care of]. She wanted to make sure that her content was beefed up. Is that the case?

Me: What does "beefed up" mean in this context? More text, or more procedure names or geographic locations or mentions of her name, etc., within the text?

Manager: I did not know it was so complex. I am not sure what she meant; however I thought she was referring to text.

Me: Yes, all those things I mentioned have to do with the text. I was wondering, when she said she wanted it beefed up, what did she want more of?

Manager: I just spoke with her today. I think she just wants to beef up content.

...Yeah. In other news, the photo meme results went up last night, if you missed them (and care).
