When county clerks attack!

By Tangotiger, 12:02 PM

Non-sports post.

Good thread by Nate who also points to this article.

At my old job, they made a big deal about recycling efforts.  They came out with blue bins, and orange bins, and black bins, and we were supposed to dump our trash in the appropriate bin.  Emails, posters, etc.  It was all a big thing, and they did all that planning, and then we all got those bins.

One day, I stayed late at the office, and I see the janitors dumping the trash from these three colored bins from each of our desk.  Except, he only had ONE cart!  He was dumping everything that was separated into one big container.

This is what happens when you go into production, and you don’t have a test environment.
