- mpyne 13y agoI'm in DoD and we don't. Actually I'll take it a step further, I'm in the NAVY, where we joke that the whole Navy runs on coffee, and we make the government employees bring in their own snacks/coffee/etc. Some random employee brought in their Keurig machine and lets the other employees use it. That what passes for "perks" for the rank-and-file.
- kpozin 13y agoI'm reminded of the government's TP Pool Regulations [1] in Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash. [1] http://soquoted.blogspot.com/2006/03/memo-from-fedland.html http://soquoted.blogspot.com/2006/03/memo-from-fedland.html
- mpyne 13y agoI actually did almost buy TP the other day after an unpleasant encounter with the new post-sequester personal hygiene equipment. But I forgot as soon as I sat down at my desk and apparently the bad TP was an accident and not actually due to the budget crunch. But yeah, the memo is spot-on in many respects (15.62 exact == smartass) but unrealistic in others. For example I haven't seem this many words correctly spelled in a memo since I was on submarine duty, and no one here would be able to figure out how to word logic as twisted as that described. Instead they would probably omit major details that need deciding while repeating minor details, slightly differently each time so that you can't be sure whether it's a unique requirement or not...
- acchow 13y agoCertainly not this kind of coffee: http://bit.ly/10Qh0rr http://bit.ly/10Qh0rr That's from a barista at Google.
