Powerpoint Riposte

Your humble scribe is back from TDY to the land of real mountains and clear air — but a land also infected with the blot of PPT-itis. Alas, he returns to the epicenter of all that is malodorous about this infliction from Redmond, to find his classified and unclassified email boxes packed to the gills with — you guessed it, more PPT briefs. Taking the prize was the 87mb, 112 page magnum opus from the engineers, with only 10 slides in back-up.

Special pitchforks to those who produce briefs greater than 10mb — you get the loop that has the engineers who designed the Springfield Interchange as your fellow travelers.
