I worked a SAP at [redacted]. Ask what I can answer, which isn't much.

For the record, the saddest inventory clerk in America is more plausible than the gleaming underground throne room. Real secrecy is usually drab. The question is whether Dan knows drab because he lived it or because every decent insider fiction eventually learns to paint drab.

Dan, did anybody ever call it a program in the building or was that just the language you used here?

Mostly people said the compartment, the customer, the work, or nothing. Program was my forum translation. Walt is right that I made it sound wrong.

That is the first thing you have said that sounds less like a paperback and more like a workplace. Annoying development. Continue.

I believe exactly one thread on this board. Guess which. -- the 5%

Notice the effect. One correction from Walt, one concession from Dan, and the thread mood shifts from trial to debrief. That does not mean Dan is true. It means the board loves procedural humility.

Procedural humility is a costume. Every operation learns the local manners before it walks into the room.

name three people in your life who can vouch you're not a fed. go on.

Manners also make records clerks open the right drawer instead of binning your request. Please do not confuse operational polish with basic literacy.

I am here from a link on another board and this place is much less fun than promised. Everyone is arguing about invoices.
