The Pamphleteer |
|
|
During colonial times in America, if you wanted to convince or inform people about some issue that you considered important, you went to the local printer and got some pamphlets printed. You then handed them out, read them to anybody that was interested, nailed them to the town bulletin board, or the nearest tree.
The first amendment was specifically written to protect this type of activity and the writers or "pamphleteers".

You Know You Work for the Government If... (From Eugene, our correspondent in Suffolk County.) You sometimes lie ..........................when someone asks you where you work. You get really excited about ....................................... a 2% pay raise. Your supervisor doesn't have the ability........................to do your job. You sit in a cubicle ............................ smaller than your bedroom closet. Computer specialists know less about computers ............... than your teenager. Lunch is like another scheduled meeting ..............................only shorter. You see a good looking person and know ...........................they are a visitor. Management thinks a business trip with uncompensated mandatory weekend travel ........................... is a perk! Although you have a telephone, cellphone, pager, E-mail, FAX, network distribution, Fed-X, US mail, and coworkers sitting all around your work area.......................... communication is a continuing problem. You know, and everyone who works with you knows, ........... .your performance is "Superior", but "Satisfactory" is the highest level on the documented performance rating. You work 200 hours for the $100 bonus check ............. and jubilantly say "Oh Wow, thanks!" "Dilbert" cartoons hang outside everyones cubicle. When workers screw up............ they are transferred to another office to be someone else's problem! When management screws up....................................they are promoted. Your boss' favorite lines are "When you get a few minutes"..............or "In your spare time could you".................... or "When you're freed up" Vacation is something you can roll over to next year. The worst possible reputation comes from ......................being the "initiator" of a complaint. And, most definitely, your biggest loss from a computer system crash is.......................... You lose your best jokes! . |
