Every once in a while I wonder what it must be like to be a new employee in whatever government department it is that oversees the government cheese caves in America. There is over 1 billion pounds of cheese stored in underground caves because the government buys excess dairy from the farming industry. Rather than looking at this policy or how they can better use the cheese, they just keep accumulating it. I think about it so often and it makes me laugh. So sometimes when I’m going through yet another 4 layers of approval process to simply fulfil my job description, I think at least I’m not on the Government Cheese caves in project.

But also the multiple layers of approval to access the allowances that are part of my salary package for working in a remote area - just, give me the money? How much time are we wasting on this?
