Re: Happy ending

I've come across a good few organisations, both corporate and governmental, where filling in record sheets of how time was used would use a considerable chunk of it. To the point that having a few staff skiving off would have wasted conspicuously less time than the aggregate spent preventing this.

Or as I once put to one of the suits, in a slightly different context, "We spend so much time being accountable we hardly have any left to do the job we're meant to be accountable for."
