A Little Background

Let me fill you in on a little place I call 'work'. I work for ACME Widget Company (ACMEWC)*, a government affiliated subsidiary of ACME Widget International (ACMEWI)*. In ACMEWC, there are two camps of employees- the SO employees and the Field employees. I am a field employee. I am on the front lines dealing with the customers. The SO employees are housed in a parabolic chamber some 40 miles away and have virtually no contact with customers, the court system and the hard copy of the real details of each account, commonly called 'the case or case file'. Even though the field workers have all the information and the customers on their side, the SO workers like to think they control things. They do not. But it is a constant battle to remind them of their place in the world of ACMEWC, made even more difficult by the management of the SO camp who also suffer from delusions of grandeur and think they have power. Field management does what it can, but the SO is a juggernaut of nonsense and lacks so much logic, a Vulcan's head would explode if forced to deal with them for more than five minutes. I think the logic void is a requirement for anyone receiving government funding.
