Man hours that could more usefully employed for sorting out our %#@*ing AOS applications, amongst other things! :mad:

It wasn't till they'd sent out 60-bl00dy-thousand of these things before someone noticed that something was amiss? :confused: The incompetence of these people continues to astound me.

They probably noticed after 1000 cards, then spent the rest of the time working out what, why and when to blame.

I'd imagine that the meetings about setting up a focus group to look into the root causes of the problem probably slowed down things a bit. :eek:

Still, I bet that it won't happen again now that a 5000 page procedural document has been produced.

I'm capable of thinking for myself.
From what I've seen this is a pretty rare commodity. Unfortunately, working as I do in a large company its also liable to hamper my prospects of further promotion.

Now if you don't mind I have an afternoon of hard work in front of me.

Thats one creative way of the INS staff vetoing the new immigration laws. Send them all duff cards them spend an eternity "sorting it out"
