Twas the Night Before Baseline
(With apologies to Clement Clarke Moore)
Twas the eve for the holidays,
And all through the shop,
Our consultants were working,
Would they ever get to stop?
All the CAMs had corrected
their IMSs with care,
With hopes that the IBR interviews
Would not be nightmares.
When all of a sudden
There arose such email chatter,
IMS updates were piling up,
So which ones would matter?
And what did I see
To my eye’s disbelief?
But even more IMS updates
In BoxNet motif!!
But jolly fat fingers
flew over keyboards,
And corrections were entered
Errors vanquished evermore!
Now CAs! Now WADs!
Now WPs! Now RAMS!
On CARs! On Baselines!
On Schedules! On CAMs!
To the TMT briefings,
To the top TMT Generals,
Now CAM away, CAM away, CAM away all!
Merry Christmas!!!!
