Pinnacle of Petty Pedantia.
(This excerpt is taken from a real-life situation.)
Journo: Erm… Excuse me, where can I find today’s draw sheet?
Pretentious PR Prickette: It’s at the pigeonhole area over there where all the tournament information is. Round 4 draw sheet could be found in the top left hand corner slot of the first panel.
Journo: Huh, where?!? (looks “blur” and scratches head)
Pretentious PR Prickette: Here, I’ll show you where it is.
PPP leads the poor confused journo to the said “tournament information” section of the media centre and passes him a draw sheet. Media girl turns her head around.
Media Girl: You know, you could just take some of the draw sheets and put them near your table at the entrance. It'll be so much easier that way.
Pretentious PR Prickette: Oh, we don’t want to confuse the situation. See, at this morning's meeting we’ve made a decision that all information pertaining to the tournament should be at the pigeonhole area. Some of the press might come in from that door instead of the main entrance and they might panic if they’re in a hurry and they can’t find the draw sheets there.
Media Girl: (to herself) Panic. And pandemonium. At a golf tournament. Gasp, the horror!!! (rolls eyes…) Well, I didn’t say take all. Why don’t you just take SOME with you and leave some behind.
Pretentious PR Prick: (frowns as if in serious thought)Yah, i suppose that's alright.
Media Girl: (to herself) You don’t say….
- The End. –
Note to self: (A) Good god, these chinese people really know how to look busy when there really is truly, fuck ALL to do.
(B) This IS what it’s really like in the working world, Shida. Just lots of people running around looking busy doing fuck all and making executive decisions about NOTHING really and writing memos about it and making 20 copies of it for distribution and doing everything at the speed of bloody slow km/h so that they look like they're working and doing something of signficance ALL the time.
(C) Any attempts to deviate from the above working culture will ensure a swift plunge down the popularity ladder and possible unemployment.
heh.
