Get On The Bus

When the faecal irritant hits the proverbial fan smart civil servants bring out all their belt-tightening artillery. The whole civil service woke up to some horror memo that proposes that they travel by bus between Francistown and GC.

The memo doesn’t actually discriminate and so the assumption is that it applies to everyone who gets his or her paycheck from Honourable Peggy Serame who is the official government bean counter. However, for the more experienced, the civil service has 2 clear demarcations, the official civil service and the executive. So before you get excited just know that F scales won’t be in that bus. We cannot have a situation where the executive is pushed into a bus with their juniors.

At least that is how it works on these shores. I suggest the drivers must be carefully chosen so that a whole busload of important civil servants are not stranded in Makomoto which is a mere 50km from Francistown. Government drivers have a tragic physiological flaw where they are suddenly attacked by a bout of sleep when they are about to reach their destination.
