Betty by Detail

Betty knows her stuff - in detail.

In this age of electronics, it is refreshing to see a woman - not old, mind you, but in that prime age of 30-45, teenage daughter and all that wonderful life experience - to see a woman who still fills in her log books by hand, the fact that she is a supervisor of a technical department filled with MBAs notwithstanding.

Yes, Betty is great: none of this "flash by me" stuff. She will painstakingly transfer the information from one printed out electronic file into her precious logs - then give those logs to her assistant to be typed into another electronic file log book: none, None, NONE of this cut-and-paste crap for Betty! No!

And the newer electronic file log book: heaven help us if it should be compatible with any database known to man/woman/child/IS/IT or You Know Who. No, Betty, pure Betty, wants this as a text file - so that some one else (she has many assistants) can re-type her electronic file log books into a database format that everyone else in the company can use.

Oh, Betty, oh, Betty: you are the person who makes our lives worth living on the weekends when you do not touch our lives.
