Hardtack and Havoc

A private of the 1st Texas Volunteer Infantry Civil War Reenactor with a day job in Uncle Sugar's Navy trapped in the unholy land of New England...I wish I was still in Iraq.

Daddy, What Did You Really Do In The War?

Hmmm... After reading my Bride's post I think I better set the record straight about my function in the big wheel of life. I have very little to do with winning the war on terrorism, we have trained bullet absorbing killers who do that dirty work. I have a much more important function... I am staff weenie. (This works much better if you imagine the Darth Vader Theme playing in the background) It is my mission to seek out common sense wherever it may be found... AND DESTROY IT! I will find efficiency no matter where it hide... AND STAMP IT OUT! I will walk BEHIND the troops and saddle them with difficult jobs... AND DENY THEM THE TOOLS TO DO IT! I will smell out their "can do" spirit and initiative... AND SQUASH IT! I will bury them in request forms and requisitions... AND THEN LOSE THEM! I will evaluate them on things I know nothing about... AND FIND THEM DEFICIENT! I will inundate them with stupid questions... THAT I REALLY DON'T NEED AN ANSWER TO! I will assign them impossible deadlines for worthless paperwork and when they bust their balls to turn it in on time... I WILL SEND IT BACK FOR REVISION! When the revised copy comes back... I SHALL DECLARE IT MOOT! (Insert maniacal laughter here) I am the enemy of efficiency, the destroyer of common sense, the incinerator of initiative. IN THE NAME OF BUREAUCRACY EVERYWHERE... (work the imaginary Darth Vader theme music to a might crescendo!)I AM A STAFF WEANIE! Let no good deed go unpunished!

TO THE TYRANT NEVER YIELD (Oh wait, that's me) TO THE STAFF WEANIES NEVER YIELD
