Improve the service! (or at least, think about it!)

Summer : time for holidays, traffic jams, desert open-spaces, and (for those happy enough to remain at work), budgets elaboration…

As usual, vital projects are “arbitrated” (cut in half) while costly consulting missions are commissioned to produce emergency advices on how to improve the services… However, their recommendations will (probably) imply vital projects. Projects that will have to wait at least a year to begin (meaning that most of the recommendations will be obsolete). Projects that will be cut in half, just to be sure we still have enough money to pay for both the new consultants and the old – now meaningless- projects, dragging desperately behind the schedule…

Sounds familiar?
