Red Tape ~ Rondel for One Stop Poetry
It's another week working on Rondels at Onestop...and I'm still in a ranting kind of mood. So, while I'm late to posting today, I offer up for your reading pleasure (hopefully!)
Red Tape
Drowning in the bureaucracy
Ruled by those who have never done
This task has become cumbersome
But doomed, this is reality
Paper high as the eye can see
A daunting task that can't be won
Drowning in the bureaucracy
Ruled by those who have never done
Sign a contract and kill a tree
Never replant a single one
But that's okay, it's how it's done
We are quite important, you see
Drowning in the bureaucracy
~Natasha Head~
Not sure if your day job is like mine or not, but being told how to do your job by people who have never done your job can be a difficult pill to swallow at best. When we take it to the next level, and realize the majority of our governments are run the same way...it get's very scary indeed. I may be a tad bit nieve, but I know it's who you know. Yup...little ol' country bumpkin me, spitting out my opinions like I know what I'm talking about :)

But you are right it always has been about who you know and how much one can kiss ass and yes you know where I work people, (errr ummm in your line of work)hahaha, like to tell me how things should be done, with a little whine thrown in..hahaha
Worse is when they bring in these "oh so nice" training people, who blather on about crap you already know, been doing the job for years, yet this person comes in and tells you exactly what you've been doing anyway, stupid. Think you hit a nerve...lol
