Every day in the office, work takes another little piece of my heart...
This LJ is a column of sorts, a sordid series of vignettes of being held down by incompetent management, if not The Man. The tales and observations have all been taken from RL but the names have been changed to protect the guilty from receiving a mass lynching at the hands of the justifiably bitter workers of the world. It is written by Alex Winter, who does not yet have a separate journal on Live Journal, due to various legal difficulties.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COPY MEMES, QUESTIONAIRES, ETC. TO YOUR OWN LIVE JOURNAL, JUST OFFER PROPER CREDIT VIA THE
downmarketguru TAG, THANKS!
For further tales of bureacratic mismanagement, please also check out the lovely
ms_manna's incomperable Administration series.
