Today in Government Humor: Every Friday, my coworker pledges to get out the door reasonably close to his quitting-time of record, saying that he'll be "5:08 compliant," and it elicits a smile every time

@bikepedantic I went three rounds with the 508 department with three documents this quarter and every time the goalposts moved and there are no written requirements (my documents met the requirements of another Federal agency each time), so that joke lands very very well with my very dry sense of humor.

@HayiWena @bikepedantic my team lead a million years ago wouldn't ever let us change anything to avoid going through 508 review

@ebooksyearn it is the most ill-defined snipe hunt for the noblest of purposes, and has taken at least two weeks off my lifespan. @HayiWena

@bikepedantic @ebooksyearn Yeah, I was happy to make changes like improve the alt text captions, but seriously just write down the guidance/requirements so I don't have to go through multiple submissions via my COR since I don't have direct access to submit the documents. I ended up making my own checklist. I have one more document to finish and then submit.

@HayiWena it's brutal, and it's been like that for as long as i can remember. And within USDOT, different offices get to work to different standards somehow! Brutal. @ebooksyearn

@HayiWena The gallows humor helps me cope with it all. @ebooksyearn
