Do you have all your papers?




In English please:
After writing yesterday’s blog on the bureaucrats I thought I’d write another 10
traits of the true bureaucrat.


11. A real bureaucrat never asks “Can I help you?” a bureaucrat says “Can I help you!”
12. A true bureaucrat favorite calling is “Next!”
13. A true bureaucrat works for the clock.
14. Only a real bureaucrat will say “Sorry I can’t help you” and not tell you who can.
15. Real bureaucrats have to make you wait and will pretend to be busy.
16. If cornered a real bureaucrat is trained to say only one thing – “Sorry the system is down!”
17. If a bureaucrat smiles at you during your interview – you know you’ve had it.
18. A true bureaucrat never calls for backup or support to confirm anything.
19. A true bureaucrat somehow never received you file.
20. A true bureaucrat can foresee the future – the answer will be “NO”

According to research at an english university, it doesn't matter in what order the letters
in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter is at the right place.
The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem.
This is because we do not read every letter by it self but the word as a whole.
