Susan - 

While I fully appreciate everything you said, I still think it would be very
difficult to convince anyone outside our profession to give us an 8hr/pg

"To estimate the time required for a simple project, 
convert to the next higher unit of measure and multiply 
by three.  So, for a one-day job, allow three weeks. 
For a complex project multiply by the square of the 
speed of light."

...<snip>...While I don't insist on using that 
metric for my own writing, as the head of a dept 
I have, because I've had to take my writing team 
into account.

 Cpt Kirk - Mr. Scott, have you always multiplied your 
            repair estimates by a factor of four?
 Cdr Scott - Certainly, Sir. How else can I keep my 
             reputation as a miracle worker?
