Oh no, we all know that local government departments are trying to cut back these days, but some of these cuts are just silly. How silly, you ask? Well, one of Bev's colleagues went to the stationery cupboard for some highlighters, and was told that "not just anyone can have highlighters, you know! You need a business case for having them!" What? This has all the hallmarks of the great post-it note fiasco, where they bought really cheap ones with little or no ink - they stuck to jack shit, fell off desks and stuck to people's shoes, ending up all over the building. Now people have to sellotape them to documents!
We know that cost savings are important, but when another colleague said he had to wade through the boss's luxurious shag pile carpet just to get to his desk, you have to ask yourself where the real cost savings could be made!
We're dreaming about that luxurious carpet and wondering if we could sneak in during the night, rip it up and bring it home - and of course, we would need to take some highlighters so that we could change its colour :-)
