Unaccounted for Risk

Rejoice Comrades!

It turns out that I was not as familiar with the Revolutionary Change Request Forms (RCRFs) as I thought. Never having seen a RCRF marked with the 'Don't Kill the Requestor', I wasn't aware that once that box is checked, there is a subsequent addendum to the RCRF that must be filed within 36 hours or else a very interesting procedure can be invoked.

Yes, Comrades. That is correct. I must give a presentation complete with graphs, animations, different fonts, graphics, brandings, little call-out boxes, arrows, and random slide transition animations, to explain the benefits of adding the 'After the Revolution, there will be no slide-show presentations' to the Revolutionary Statement of Work.

It looks like much work is ahead of me, my Comrades.

Rejoice though. Soon, I shall be routing my presentation for comment and approval.

Presentations

Rejoice Comrades!

I have been busily working on a slideshow presentation. Yes, Comrades. Even in the Revolution, there will be slideshow presentations. And since eliminating slideshows after the Revolution was not included in the Revolution's Statment of Work, it looks like they are here to stay. That is correct, routing the slideshow for approval, revision, comment, deletion, additions, new charts, graphs, color schemes, branding, and let us not forget those painful animations and generic pictures that are mandatory to include.

Comrades, it is not often that I will be a sponsor for a change request, but after my experience over the past two weeks, I feel that I am ready to show initiative and begin to fill out the Revolutionary Change Request Form. Thankfully, with my experience as a part time member of the Revolutionary Change Control Board, I will be sure to mark the box on the form that says 'Don't Kill Me Because I Filed This Request On Behalf Of The People'.

Rejoice Comrades! Much Bloodshed shall be averted this time.
