   I worked at various places that kept taking on new clients, doubling and tripling the workload, and simply expecting to push it all out quickly and efficiently with the same size staff and facility. They never understood why it got harder for the workers. Not one clues. Maybe yelling at them more, and trying to guilt them into giving up their home lives for round the clock overtime would cover it.

   At a job I worked years ago, one of the top execs decreed that, instead of throwing away used stationery, we cut it up into scratch pads. Nothing was said about who would be allocated the time to do this. It was just supposed to magically happen, even when there were no workers to spare from the growing workload we already had.

   By this point he oughta be. John has chimed in here and there in the comments, and seemed to know what I was doing. Alas, next week brings I to an end. Malcolm has no reference on the future.

   I think we used that before. Somehow he was still pleased to hear it.

    I also don’t believe that particular Ed panel ever ran. It’s not in my archives. I thought they were complete, until Andre sent me a few I didn’t have. Basically, I was using the online archives of the previous website. I know this site is incomplete, because I have strips that aren’t shown here.
