Bureaucrats
I'm one. I admit it. I've got a stack of paperwork on my desk that is as high as my shoulders. But that doesn't mean I'm a surly, lax, apathetic sociopath. I'm just sayin'. Stop the hate.Labels: A Day In The Life Of Flannery, Workplace

I find you quite surly.

I thought that being a surly, lax sociopath was one of the job perks of being a bureaucrat. I stand corrected.

I suppose I must lack self awareness, Chris. I see myself as a sweet servant of humankind, Bitch.
It is a perk, but I only take advantage of it for the sake of revenge.

But... but... how will I make it through the day without hate?

Deadspot, I just want you to stop the bureaucrat hate. Sorry if I wasn't specific enough. I'll fill out the loathing revision form in triplicate with the corrected hate quotient. I'll file one copy, forward a copy each to purchasing, human resources and the affirmative action office. I'll cc you.

Um, yeah, Flannery, I'm gonna need you to go ahead and fill out those TCP reports....
And I'm gonna need you to go ahead and come in on Saturday, okaayyyyy?

Then, Johnny Yen, I'm going to have to ask you to see my union rep about a "change in work" adjustment to my contract. Also, I don't get out of bed on Saturday for anything less than time and a half.

Wikipedia offers this cute mnemonic to note the signs of a sociopath
C - cannot follow law
O - obligations ignored
R - remorselessness
R - recklessness
U - underhandedness
P - planning deficit
T - temper
I will cop to O, the first R on occaision, and maybe P. So, Phil, I guess you're right. That makes me ORP instead of CORRUPT. But ORP is the new cute.

I can follow the law.
I choose not to.

I prefer surly. I understand it. It feels like home.

I dunno-- you look good in a bloo tie.
meanwhile, you might be a bureaucrat, but I'm Da' Maaaan... (this makes me a better person, i think...)

You say surly, lax, apathetic sociopath like those are bad things. Without people like me, how would you ever not get things done?

Deadspot: This does not surprise me about you.
Grant Miller: This does not surprise me about you.
BO: When it's official, there will be a memo
WP: I would never throw my stapler; it is too precious to me. Now, the three-hole punch, that's another story.
Dale: You are sage.
