I'm 13 percent of the way there.
Next time your random manager asks how far through that (indefinite) task she (sort of) assigned you, just answer: I'm 13 percent of the way there, boss.This is the perfect answer. No one ever knows what response to give to thirteen percent. Clearly you're underway, but clearly there's a lot of work to be done. Better leave you alone...

Indeed, the answer to the Ultimate Question.
