How insignificant...

So I came across this poster, an inspirational piece for those cynics amongst us - God bless each and every one of you!

What really drew my attention is, ultimately, its raw truism ! It is as funny as it is versatile: parody of inspirational imagery it might be, but really who amongst us hasn't come across someone who needs to be shown this to put things into perspective?!

Picture this scenario (admittedly based on territory I am familiar with, but equally relevant to your profession of choice/passion): you have spent the previous night with the team trying to put together what you consider to be the opus of the previous 3 weeks of work. The tees have been crossed (with the right fonts, within the right margins, equidistantly positioned across the slide), and the i's have been dotted (to the exacting radius a top tier 'dot' should be, of course).... oh, and the content ain't half bad either! You have packaged this opus, and have sent it to the senior 'thought' leader of the team for feedback. A small rectangular box fades into the lower right hand corner of your screen, announcing the arrival of the much anticipated feedback email:

Dear team,

Thanks for the good work [well, it does happen, sometimes!!]. I have a couple of comments:

• 
  
  The use of the word 'word' is not very intuitive in the context of slide xx - we need to find a better word for 'word' there... what do you guys think?
• 
  
  Shouldn't the boxes on slide xx and slide xx+50 be of equal dimensions, colour, and placement - otherwise the flow would be interrupted.... what do you guys think?
• 
  
  Instead of having an overview section, we should have an introduction section - please make sure that the new section now flows
• 
  
  ......[you get the point]

Thx

... wouldn't it be GREAT to hit the reply button and in the body of the email paste the above image? That would be the CONCISE way to respond - and yes, I do believe that 'insignifance' would be the right word to describe what we guys think...

Yup, I can picture it now - alas, I can only picture it in my head... but I have a very VERY vivid imagination!!!
