New Month, Entirely Abusive Pretend Customer Service Post
As is my abusive tradition, a generic post for the readers to remind me of topics I have dodged, ask me questions about myself which I will evade as I like, or otherwise make note of something.
As a new feature, I invite readers to speculate wildly about myself as an alternative to me being evasive.
Yes, tell me what you believe you know about me. (that select club who have really met me in real life, including the one person who knows where I work(ed), etc. shall keep their traps shut)
Otherwise, I am bemused by a nice little missive from Central inviting me to attend a corporate meeting on our new retirement plan. Next week. At Central. Right, I'm going to fly in for some robotic presentation on the new, yet cheaper and stupider retirement plan you have hatched. Requests my RSVP.
What is truly odd and perhaps a bit boggling is that the send of said missive specifically included a select group of the overseas staff by individual email - i.e. this is not explainable via mailing list.
I am not sure if this is mockery, stupidity, cluelessness, some vile dig or simply madness. Or some combination of the set. Being of a twisted nature, I expect it is some combination of vile dig, mockery and a bit of madness.
Adding that this line rather proves me theory:
"As an [Massively Incompetent Inc.] employee, you will need to take certain steps to be enrolled in this program. It is important that you be aware of the information that will be discussed at this meeting."
UPDATE:
Bloody hell, the EU Crapstition might do only moderately badly in the Land of Dikes. Idiot namby pamby yes voting Dutch fools.
I am however contented that we are having here in this fine country a heated discussion about the controversial "continual hours" versus "holy lunch hours" issue, which is keeping the dim wits in Parliament quite busy. Lord knows what a distinctly troublesome issue it is, this matter of national policy - and summer hours.
