My Life is a Dilbert Cartoon
I spent the last hour and a half or so taking tickets for an event that had no tickets issued for it.
Yep, I sat there because I was assigned to take tickets even though there WERE NO TICKETS.
How does something like that happen you ask? Well, the work assignments for the annual meeting are drawn up every ten years and assigned by job title. So, as Assistant Membership Director, I collect tickets. As it happens the decision was made to quit printing tickets seven years ago, but that minor detail hasn't affected the duty roster yet. Why? Because they only rewrite and reassign jobs for the annual meeting every ten years because (as my boss said when I asked her about it) "that's the way it's always been done."

Gotta love corporate logic.

Also - every ten YEARS? That's good. Because these days, nothing changes very fast, technology is fairly static and all. One wouldn't want to cause unnecessary commotion!
