Minor Real Life Complaint

Work for the government, they say.

Sure, the benefits are nice, but damn, sometimes I get tired of reporting what I'm doing/have been doing instead of just doing my job.

Then again, if I worked in the private world again, I'd be crushed by billables (again), so maybe it's not so bad...

“Army Clerk Gets Two Years,” Ottawa Journal. October 15, 1942. Page 3. ---- Joseph Real Michaud, 31. of 340 Somerset street west today was sentenced by Deputy Magistrate Sauve to two years in Kingston Penitentiary for stealing $3,182 in Government funds from the Ottawa Area Command headquarters, where he was employed as a clerk.

“l feel sorry, for your wife and child", the magistrate said, in passing sentence. "Although the system of checking up on the money received by you was not what It should have been in this particular department, it is no excuse for what you have done. ' 

The magistrate was convinced that had the stealing of the money been discovered, "as it should have been a month or so after it started", Michaud would not have been facing such a serious charge. 

Michaud pleaded guilty on September 29 to stealing the money over a period from October, 1940, to January of this year. In March he was sentenced to six month in the Ontario Reformatory for uttering forged documents and was paroled In August. Later he was arrested on the theft charge.

[AL: Michaud was 31 years, married, and despite his government clerk job, his prison file indicates a ‘window cleaner’ job. French Canadian, he was born in Hull-Gatineau but lived in Ottawa with his wife. He had no previous criminal record. He was convict #7072 at Kingston Penitentiary, and worked in the shoe shop. He was paroled November 1943.]

In retrospect Braig's whole everything in Birth By Sleep is hilarious. Local bodysnatching immortal with a secret agenda is working a minimum wage security gig at a home depot near YOU! Also he will help you fake your own kidnapping for only 300 munny.

This fic is going to be either a runaway success or so niche as to be unreadably boring to anyone who isn't a fan of budget tracking

Although HeroAca's ethics are conscientious, we can also see a glimpse of modern dangers. At least as far as the developments to date are concerned, it seems that at the base of the work lies naive nationalism and a lack of imagination toward the situation in which official authority expands in the name of "justice." However, this nationalism seems to have an inclusive character, just like the nationalism of nationhood, which is another hidden basis of "Shounen Jump Values." As a fusion with such nationalism, we may be able to see in HeroAca the aspect of a higher level of community ethics that is relativistic and individualistic, yet aware of responsibility to "others." However, according to Karatani's logic, nationalism, which is a "(insular) community" way of thinking, should be in conflict with "(broad) social" thinking. Perhaps in the case of nationalism as a nationhood founded on universal ideals and principles, it does not actually contradict "social" thinking.

Still, it is important to note that even such nationalism is always in danger of slipping into exclusionary logic when a crisis occurs. Although HeroAca clearly denounce dictators, it does not have the imagination to understand that historically, bureaucrats/civil servants were the means by which rulers carry out their rule, so the current positioning of Heroes is a status that could support movements such as the state control of society that occurred in Japan in the late 1930s (fascism). [HeroAca fails to show enough wariness towards social control by public authorities.]

...

In that sense, if Heroes are imagined as an entity rooted in the network of "Hero Agencies" in the story and its spiritual ethics are depicted as maintaining a healthy tension with the state, then its ethics may be considered to be truly "social."

Employees at United Health Care told to shut up. Pressured not to talk about the corruption and "lionize the CEO". All hail the king!

Resentment for Thompson was widespread at the company, the employee said, citing an internal company announcement about his death that only garnered 28 comments despite being seen by 16,000 employees.

The way JJ says “Emily” in that playfully exasperated tone at the end of Sick and Evil when Emily admits she believes the BAU is haunted will live rent free in my head until the day I die.

One of the funniest things I've noticed on this site is the Leia Organa Fan to Government Employee Pipeline. Let's add numbers.

Government funded entities include things like primary/secondary schools, universities, health care providers, childcare providers, etc., that are primarily funded by the government.
