I work at a company where you can’t scratch your arse without filling in an “R11748 — Arse scratching request” form.
Aint it great when accountants run the world.

Inevitably, there appears to be a book about this (and it's written by a former copywriter). http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/body_and_soul/article1807748.ece

A former VP of mine told me once
that he encourages everyone to have side projects
and become financially independent of the company.
That way, we can say do what we truly want to do
without worrying about the consequences.
And that’s when great things happen.

The most successful things I’ve created/implemented and the things I’ve received the most accolades, respect, and rewards for are all things that nobody asked me to do, often nobody knew needed to be done, and I certainly didn’t follow any standard processes to accomplish. If I had they would never have happened.

Reminds me of Burroughs: “Death needs time for what it kills to grow in.”
