Oooh, apparently we're good at science bowl:

Albany participates in many local competitions, including NAQT, NOSB's Otter Bowl (which they won in 2006 and took fourth nationwide), and the National Science Bowl, in which they also took fourth place nationwide. Albany High won its 2008 Science Bowl regional competition, defeating academic rival Mission San Jose High School. Traditionally, both schools went to different regional competitions, but in 2008, due to a desire to participate in both the Otter Bowl and Science Bowl, whose regionals coincided, Albany was forced to attend MSJ's regional competition for Science Bowl. In 2009, their NOSB team did not fare as well. However they fared much better in National Science Bowl, placing 5th nationwide.

I'm pretty sure she's not taller than Superman in regular DC continuity, and Bats is a tossup. I'd place her at 6', and Supes at 6'2.

I know she's definitely modeled to be taller in the animated verse.

What is Otter Bowl?

OMG WORK IS MAKING ME CRAZY.

OK, fine, require the "XYZ Certificate" be sent in or your own course be done.

But when my people send in the "ABC Certificate" and I point out that ABC includes EVERYTHING on the XYZ course and more, don't then tell me that's unacceptable and they either have to do XYZ or your course. They've DONE XYZ. They've ALSO done A and B in addition. WTF?!? They are not going to spend another 8 hours doing the same thing again, and for me to tell them they need to is BULLSHIT (and the reason I am coming to hate my job)

I know she's definitely modeled to be taller in the animated verse.

Which isn't where the picture is from.

Internet tells me Bats is 6'2 and Supes is 6'3. Wonder Woman is definitely "only" 6'. Google is really scaring me right now. Google "how tall is superman" and it's a bit creepy how useful the results are.

Not posed sexily, IMHO.

Wow. I just got handed off a document by the other business analyst on the project to add my half of the requirements, and so far it's all fixing spelling errors and grammatical mistakes. This guy really impressed me up to this point, but I wouldn't have believed he'd have let even a draft with this many errors out of his hands. I'm tempted to put Track Changes on to make a point, but that's incredibly bitchy.

Also, at the rest of the gig he's totally better than me. Which is why I'm amazed, really. Zero polish here.

BTW, Hec, she's not clearly taller here.

I've been reviewing documents this week that are produced by my former employers (although not staff I worked with directly), and I'm kind of appalled. Typos and clunky sentences and unfinished sentences, and I do not get it. Why was this not routed through the technical editor? Why am I the one having to go through and say, "Insert comma on line 26 after 'windows'," and so forth?

I'm editing an article about a new drug, written by someone with a PharmD, who did not know what "FDA" stood for. (Her guess was Federal Drug Agency.) I am not making that up.
