Reflection on Suspension

So it's been a week since returned from suspension - and a day to rest - now to look back.

Amazing how nothing changes. One is back into the routine without much pause. It was like going on vacation: some work piled up, but for all the Sturm und Drang of the events leading to the suspension, everyone acts as if Nothing Happened.

Oh, sure, a few folks walk tenderly around this Cube. Certain orders, requests, and general knowledge memos are specifically routed to The Cube "through authorized channels." But nothing in the content has changed. And, by Friday, Dull Friday, everything was The Same.

It must be the leveling effect of Dull Friday - or Dull Week - or Dull People. They can't imagine Doing anything, so when something happens, they Don't.

Not much has changed since the feudal system, when the peasants could continue plowing while the wars went on around their fields. They'll only notice when their cubicles are raped.
