I wonder how my boss would feel if I spent a bunch of time on a ridiculous task, say, maybe two days hand typing a list of project files in alphabetical order with three space indention into a text file and then printing it out, then spent a day reviewing it, and then ran 12 copies for everyone in the office....just in case the project git got messed up at some point, so we would know what our file names were. I wonder if explaining to him that "one can never be to careful" would fly? Or would he consider this to be unreasonable, wasteful, counterproductive and that I should be doing something meaningful instead? Probably he would. Which would obviously mean that he isn't a real patriot and that he hates America. Just as I suspected! I don't know which is worse. The undue suspicion or the waste of time and resources which are needed to fight actual crime. I suspect we all do unnecessary things from time to time at work. Sounds like law enforcement maybe does more this more than it's fair share however. I guess this is what happens when you don't have a ship date.
