I want to scream.

That happens a lot.

Fortunately for those around me, I don't often actually scream.

I just finished reviewing a presentation deck for a (literally) multibillion-dollar deal for a scientific project of world-changing proportion.

This is the seventh version of the deck where I have requested that the same shallow mistakes be fixed (including typos.)

All of my substantive suggestions have been addressed, but these shallow problems remain a distraction for myself and the other reviewers.

Will these shallow problems accelerate the process? I think not.

I think that they should hire me. Or my son's high school English teacher. Or my son. Or use a free plugin like Grammarly.

I want a title. CDO. Chief Detail Officer.
