I found out today that my the Council is replacing my girlfriend's department's PCs with "state-of-the-art" terminals. Which in itself isn't necessarily a bad thing - everyone likes a new computer. Apparently their department is getting them first because they were complaining about their desks being too small.
Wait, what? Let me try to plot out this conversation.
"My desk is too small"
"Well here, have a new computer."
"Thanks, but my desk is still too small."
"But it's new!"
"It certainly is, but it doesn't make the desk any larger."
"But new! Shiny! With buttons!"
So instead of going to Ikea and spending a few hundred quid on some new desks for the department, or even spend £100 each person to upgrade the current machines, they thought the smart idea would be to spend out thousands on new computers for the entire department.
Please bear in mind that this is the same department cutting four jobs in a few weeks because of a lack of funding. The same department struggling to cover the workload because they've already lost a load of staff to better paid jobs in other places. The same department clearly run by a troop of retarded baboons.
If you would like to tell them exactly how stupid they are, please do so using this email address: first.contact@barnet.gov.uk
You know they deserve everything you can throw at them.
