Nobody works anymore...

by Travis...
Nobody works anymore. I was walking down a hallway at a headquarters building on an Army base and I noticed something that disturbed me. Room after room was filled with mindless individuals that were doing nothing more than staring at their assigned computer screen, clicking on their assigned keyboard, and moving their assigned mouse. I was thinking about how much money is poured into these rooms. The salary (up to $100,000 per year some of them), the future retirement, the training, the equipment (computers, desk, chair, paper, electricity, flooring, walls, etc.). I came to a conclusion about these senseless beings that were occupying space until they went home for the day.
What a waste.
The military has spent billions of dollars on dim-witted programs directed at creating more "jobs" for people to do.
This results in less being accomplished in one day due to said program because so much time and effort must be spent in keeping said program up and running that it leaves no other time in a day for the real "jobs" that were meant to be accomplished. This results in the hiring of extra seat-warmers (people) to take up the slack and hold up the imaginary program so that it can be deemed a success in the eyes of the creator. Oh, by the way, all of the real "job" holders that accomplished work just fine before said pretend job entered the scene, are now mandatorily made to attend briefings, fill out forms, and go to classes about the senseless program. This results in the downward spiral of everything around the organization and you can see what direction this would head.
Nobody works anymore.
This is the conclusion I came to. "Nobody" as defined in this article encompasses most desk-job-holder-junkies, who’s entire day consists of waking up, driving to work, staring mindlessly at a computer, lunch, more mine-numbing computer time, then off to the house to brag to their other mindless cohorts about all that they accomplished today and how "tired" they are. How many times have you been in a room and noticed how many people have their flat screen pacifiers in front of their face, rolling their thumb across the screen.
I guess the only thing to do is not be a mindless screen-starrer, and try to do some REAL work every day so that in the future, we might still have a shot at getting things done on our own.
