OMG, so much of GA is resonating with reading the old Bureau, it's kind of creepy. There's voting and arguing and I forget what else, but I've thought it three times.
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I caved; I finally opened Bureaucraxy 1 to take a look at the crack. Is there something that came before Bureau, that wasn't called Bureau, because the first posts sound like the continuation of something that was already in process.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
It was called Natter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The first posts are a sequencing glitch--check the dates. Real B'cracy starts a couple in.

Ah! I remember someone mentioning that, but my brain must have sprung a leak. Makes a lot more sense, now.

I'm done with Bureau 2.
I WILL NOT READ BUREAU 3.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Sure, Tep. Stay strong...

Thanks, Cass. It's recent. Holy cow, the article names us. ::akk!:: So Fast Eddie has to be Gus. Well EFF. He could have just 'fessed up that he was going to leave instead of creating all that angst. Turkey.
I'm glad to know, though, very glad.

E me for the name of my agency or ask any of the SF Bay Area B'tas - they all know where I work.

I'm still pissy and it is after 11. Mrph. But reading kerfuffles is actually helping. I think I have an excess of bile today.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
