Thanks Steve for posting this.

Hilarious yet disturbing and maddening display of automatic reflexes of 
automatically dumb organisations.
Important organisations' managements should be reduced to a maxium 
two-handfull of reliable, awake people, to ensure proper functionning. 
otherwise, as soon as an organisation reaches a certain size, it becomes 
dumb, blind, and stupid as yesterday's robots. Personall initiative and 
creative thinking is discouraged at that point.


Here is an almost fictionnal account of a typical organisationnal problem. 
I'm just making this up from a jumble of many personal experiences with big 
"Corpses" trying to control my life in the past.

I suggest someone gets inspiration from such events to make an awakening 
puppet show...
I'd happily pay to see that, as long as there is no form to fill.


(only the voices of the clerks are heard here)
I'm sorry sir, we can't do that. It is not policy. I have no power over 
this.
No, you can't talk to my supervisor.
i couldn't say for sure sir. Estimate? oh well, usually this kind of action 
takes two weeks to a month.
Oh! One moment, I'll transfer you to the right department.
I'm sorry sir, this is the billing department. Try the information office.
Yes, oh, One moment please. (mind-nimbing "musac" and boring unrelated 
announcements)
It so happens I'm the supervisor. No  problem sir, we'll have your file 
corrected by morning time.
(on this note, the poor victim of office madness thanks the supervisor, 
hangs up, jumps for joy, and then out the window.)
