When a person reviewing my report at another organization calls it "beautiful"

I’m very flattered, but I think “beautiful” is probably the wrong word, considering the field I work in. Oh well, it’s a sign to keep up the good work! Happy Friday!

Years of creative writing allowed for me to accurately and artistically convey the pertinent details of someone really fucking their day up.

I’m holding that report dear, for no one will ever say that about my work again.

“Ye ars of creative writing allowed for me to accurately and artistically the pertinent details...”

I'll herald any minimization of the routine report speak that so afflicts the line of work.

I hate it sometimes because my reports are very formal and rigid, and my summaries, which get read to the public and others, have to be more “normal”.

However, you can put anything in your report, as long as it’s in quotes! So I’ve managed to slip a few curse words and insults in.

My writing has always been more technical. I can write an instruction manual or scientific report that will knock your socks off and explain in simple terms the best way to return them to your feet. Ask me to be creative and I fall flat on my face.

You read my police blotter I think, practically poetry!

There is art in the absurd. The blotter brings me joy.

Oh, shit, that’s funny. I need to proofread better.

I wish more of the writers employed by the herbs of G/O Media would take that sentiment to heart.
