Give 'Em Hell

Today I attended a departmental procedural meeting in which these two sentences, in regard to the same topic, were spoken within minutes of each other:

"EVERYTHING has to be EXACTLY the same."
"Ignore any inconsistencies."

And it was 83 degrees in the office.

I don't believe these incidents were unrelated or coincidental. It is my belief that they pointedly serve to prove that my job is, literally, Hell.

"The Cigarette Incident"

[With all due apologies to author Bernard Dolan for any errors or inaccuracies in the quotation and transposition of this excerpt.]

IS LIKE A GOLD FUCKING COIN IN PRISON!

If you want someone robbed, beaten, gang-raped — you can PAY in CIGARETTES!

If you want conjugal visits, pornos, more time in the yard — Phillip Morris is an accepted form of currency!

And I'm thinking, 'FINALLY! A group of people who have their FUCKING priorities straight!'"
