quagmire

yesterday, a situation developed, most rapidly.

we spent hours on the phone, looking at this and looking at that. following the glorious paper trail through days and weeks and months. it was like a hunting expedition, a goat hunt, a scape goat.

fingers like weapons were drawn. it was him, no it was you, no it was her, had to be her. we had no idea how to solve a problem of epic proportions and an even lesser understanding of how the problem occurred.

we don't know who's to blame, and we are beyond caring. who did it? who knows. who's going to pay for it? yours truly.

that's the problem with clusterfucks, someone has to take responsibility for there to be any solution. humble pie fit for a queen. open up wide, here comes the first bite.

As you know, your cleaning up a mess is tacit acceptance of blame for it, and no good deed goes unpunished. But good for you -- Damn the politics, there's a job to do!

That's the problem with a clusterfuck...Someone gets fucked...The only problem is to make sure it ain't you. I was good at that.

Quite often the designated blamee is the person who most recently resigned or was fired.
