Where on earth?



Where on earth, other then the rudderless economic wilderness of our typical local government office creche (don't ask!), could the following seem both normal and logical to its participants?

When asked why they were removing papers from a confidential waste sack, to feed laboriously and noisily through our latest office toy (large paper shredder), only to stuff the then vastly increased volume back into more confidential sacks, did they say they had to.

A reminder that we pay good money to have such papers taken away and securely burned, at a cost based on the number of sacks; merely served to mildly irritate them.

I halted this waste of money, their paid time and I suspect a degree of "fun", whilst the person that sanctioned a shredder to supplement a shredding service we already pay for, was unavailable for comments!

LATEST:-
From the box of new toys also came stacking desk trays - not bad for an office ordered to adhere to a clear-desk policy. Also came halogen desk lamps; not really required in a brand new building legally supplying a high Lumen value per square foot, thought how they will be introduced to the electrical supply which manifests itself as a few sockets in each desk, has yet to be addressed. Perhaps our "financial controller" will see fit to order some (banned) electrical extender blocks next.
