When it comes to report writing, give someone the choice of waffling their existence away like a sad dough boy in a hot grill press, or expiring in front of their Word document, and most will choose option three: they will stick a chart in it.
Charts are everywhere these days, and few of them do us much good. But the most abominable thing about charts is this: creating a good one when you need some quality document padding in a hurry is impossible. Like me, you probably spent years scribbling all manner of pointless line graphs and bar art at school, but you’ll now find it tough to rule two lines, plot some points, and stick a best-fit curve through the whole merry lot without making it look like a car crash in flatland.
And so, without further ado or feeble trumpeting, I’ve created a bunch of mostly useless graphs, charts, and slightly sideways document fillers for you to employ in your own tedious reports, essays, and other dull grey nonsense. I hope that they prove both useful and serve to highlight the cosmic pointlessness of writing cabinet padding that no-one will act on anyway.
The emergency stick a chart in it kit
Nobody looks at these things closely, so feel free to use them wherever you like. Bonus points for getting all of them into one report without a) getting fired or b) running out of cyan ink.
