Reviewing The System

'Supposed to write, this quarter, a proposal for "streamlining" the department procedures. Meat-and-potatoes assignment: look at a couple of the ones written by people long gone from here (so we don't step on toes) then suggest how to revise them or combine a couple. Basically, decide on my assignment for the next quarter.

I think I made a mistake, tho'. Instead of patching up a couple of holes in the fabric, I decided to step back and look at the whole material. BIG mistake. More patches than anything else.

So now we've gone and made a damn proposal. NO WAY is this getting approved for Q2 - if ever. And I probably stepped on a few too many turfs, no matter how diplomatic I tried to make it. Trouble.

Or, if the rule works ("If you write it, it will not be read."), no one will ever know it exists. We'll see . . .
