Worthy of Rinkworks! (Well, if they were taking donations at the moment.)

Boss-Man has a look at my latest webpage work. He generally likes it but has a few changes he wants me to make. Fine, sure, except one complaint happens to be that the headline fits his screen like so:

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah
Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah
Blah!

He doesn't like that the last word is on its own line; he thinks it'll look bad for the customers, and he wants it "fixed" so that the lines are more even.

I try to explain to him that how the text arranges itself is dependant on several factors I have no control over -- browser size, browser text settings, screen resolution, etc. -- and that if I "fix it" for him, that doesn't mean it'll be "fixed" for everyone... in fact, I'll probably just "break it" for someone in doing so. He doesn't seem to get it. So finally I decide a visual demonstration: I enlarge his browser's text size one level. His response?

"See, you could fix it! Can you make that change on the other versions?"

"No, boss, you see..." Pause, think carefully about who I'm dealing with. Also that all the versions of the page have the same headline at the same base font. "...yeah, sure, I can do that. Leave it to me."

Sometimes it's best not to bother.
