"Rules Of Bureaucracy"

 

 

1. Preserve thyself.

2. It is easier to fix the blame than to fix the problem.

3. A penny saved is an oversight.

4. Information deteriorates upward.

5. The first 90% of the task takes 90% of the time; the last 10% takes the other 90%.

6. Experience is what you get just after you need it.

7. For any given large, complex, hard-to-understand, expensive problem, there exists at least one short, simple, easy, cheap wrong answer.

8. Anything that can be changed will be, until time runs out.

9. To err is human; to shrug is civil service.

10. There's never enough time to do it right, but there's always enough time to do it over. 

 "Haircut ID"

 

I accompanied my husband when he went to get a haircut. Reading a magazine, I found a hairstyle I liked for myself, and I asked the receptionist if I could take the magazine next door to make a copy of the photo.

"Leave some ID, a driver's license or a credit card," she said.

"But my husband is here getting a haircut," I explained.

"Yes," she replied. "But I need something you'll come back for."

 

"Bulrush"

 

I went with my four year old to feed the duck, at our
local lake.  There were none around but I saw the
bulrushes moving. I pointed to them and said maybe we
should go over there. 
We fed the ducks and she said "So those are
bulrushes!"
I told her they were and she pointed to a fat one and
asked if she could touch it.
It was a bit far away so I said I would break it off and
bring it to her. She looked quite surprised when I
handed it to her to take home. I noticed she was
carrying it very gently with her hand around the top
brown part.
I asked her why she was holding it like that and she
said "I'm trying to feel Moses moving in the bulrush."
