A Break from Christmas
It’s Thursday, my Friday, and I’m just not in the mood to process much more. Our annual training in IRS certification, security, and confidentiality was today, and at it’s conclusion I innocently asked why—when we’re subject to individual and governmental fines up to $250,000 plus imprisonment for infractions—isn’t there a paper shredder at every work station? The female canine that glories in being our assistant director informed me that because the County pays $200 per shredder it was not economically feasible in these constrained times. Review-Journal: are you paying attention? Clark County is paying $200 per shredder that can be purchased at Target for one-tenth the cost? Please! I am so tired of arrogant, condescending elitism from the likes that idolize Sarah Palin and her wardrobe. There’s no time like Christmas for us niggers (please see 10/23/08) to stand up and take Master down.

I think easter's probably better:
ReplyDelete"Christ has risen! And so Shall the People!"
As incitements for uprising though overpriced shredders and christmas are probably not enough to rouse a decent mob (although any mob you did raise would probably be fairly entertaining).
But I feel like I'm missing something: As an anti materialist I'd think you'd be in favor of sharing a shredder. One at each desk seems wasteful, get up and and walk to the shredder pampered bourgeoisie slime! Also not spending $200 a shredder for each employee is a good reason to not get them. That isn't condescension (And I know condescending) it's pragmatism.
So what's the real story here? This feels like a vignette in the long story of why Mr. Hanna really dislikes the people he works for. Tell us a story. Show your work.

Oops, stupid blogger double posted.
ReplyDeleteI'll take the double posting anytime. This is the most comments I've received in weeks :-) You are very perceptive that this has more to do with the people I work with, although I still contend that a $25 shredder would more effectively increase the security we are bound too. I'll check for accuracy today, but I think there are two (I had no idea how valuable they are :) shredders on this floor for in the neighborhood of sixty employees. Thanks for your input, and I'll work on the story.
