Quote for the day

"Major Ian Hay, back in the War to End War, described the structure of military organizations: regardless of their Table of Organization, all military bureaucracies consist of a Surprise Party Department, a Practical Joke Department, and a Fairy Godmother department. The first two process most matters, as the third is very small; the Fairy Godmother Department is one elderly female GS-5 clerk usually out on sick leave."
Glory Road by Robert Heinlein


Seems my file got sent over to the Fairy Godmother department; I start my new job (after a long time on the beach) today...
