Please note that these links do exist -- but
they're in the process of being shuffled around a little because of some
asshole making an issue of my web sites in court. If one doesn't work today
-- it will very soon. I'm guessing November 30, 2005!
Once upon a time the
government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress
said someone might steal from it at night; so they created a night
watchman, GS-4 position and hired a person for the job.
Then Congress said, “how does the watchman do his job without
instruction?" So they created a planning position and hired two (2)
people, one person to write the instructions, GS-12 and one person
to do time studies, GS-11. Then Congress said, "How will we know the
night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?"
So they created a Q. C. position and hired two (2) people, one GS-9
to do the studies and one GS-11 to write the reports. Then Congress
said, "How are these people going to get paid?" so they created the
following positions, a timekeeper, GS-09, and a payroll officer,
GS-11, and hired two (2) people.
Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these
people?" So they created an administrative position and hired three
(3) people, an Admin. Officer GM-13, Assistant Admin. Officer GS-12,
and a Legal Secretary GS-08.
Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one
year and we are $280,000 over budget, we must cutback overall cost."
