Two Weeks

Does the media really not know this joke?

It was endemic with every engineering place I ever worked.

"How long until project X is done?"

"Two weeks!"

And it was always two weeks even if we were making prints to send to the shop.  Even if we'd just started a multi-year job.

Two weeks!

But since there's a number in it, that makes it math and something not covered in journalism school.

  1. Judging from the journalists I have seen in action, journalism school is to school what Christian Science is to science.

  2. At far too many of the places I worked, when asked this question, the response was usually "In the year 2525..."
