ADJUSTMENTS

Now this is an issue of civil priority. Translation, you have to massage the numbers. Yep very important.

When you are in a position of serving the public. That is when this has to happen. And it is such a pain.

Essentially it is the gap between reality and expectations. A regrettable aspect to life when you work for the government.

Now the problem lies with the fact that we are the government. People think we should be able to fix all problems.

But not with any way for us to be offer any realistic options. Just dig out that imaginary wand.

Go ahead you have to have it in a drawer somewhere. So come on you can do it. Yeah, that is so unreal.

But you can’t tell the ordinary citizen that. They will flash the tax card. Why surely we are rolling in money.

Yep that is all we do all day, sit around on our lazy butts and count money. Oh we do stop long enough to take a nap.

Or perhaps you know we’ll pause long enough to waste some, on ourselves. Which means we will get long lunches and little work.

Oh not everyone will say that. Nope some will just give you that look. The one that screams you are butthead.

And you know after they leave even if you help them they will still say your are a jerk. They are good at that.

So knowing all of this we still have to help them. Which makes us all that much more thrilled.

It sucks and we still do what we can. But it seldom makes us happy. And whoa to us should they want what is against the rules.

Oh talk about a crisis. Boy is that something that inspires speeches. All those you’re a bunch of jackasses.

Sure makes life so much fun. And leads to all those adjustments. Mainly they are illusion, but they shut the people up.

At least for the moment.
