People Just Suck

Double The Penetration, None Of The Reacharound

Just getting home. It's almost 11 p.m.

Some genius in The Man's turkey army applies for a federal grant worth several meeelyun bux. It gets awarded.

Fine print calls for mucho paperwork to be submitted to Uncle Sugar within 45 calendar days of grant disbursement. My section has a major chunk of that paperwork as a primary duty.

Are we told of grant application? No.

Are we told of grant award? No.

Are we told of grant paperwork deadline? YES!!

We are told on day #36. We now have 6 work days to complete 20 work days of number crunching, paper shuffling and assorted tomfoolery.

There's no effin' way this is gonna get done.

So, who's ass do you think will get roasted by The Man & his semicircle of Nazgul if the grant gets revoked? The cockmunch who sat on it for 6 weeks, or the department that failed to produce the report by the deadline??

I'll give you one guess...

You know what REALLY chaps my hide? They did this same exact thing to us last year, too.

People just SUCK!
