This is where the money goes, where the system gums up:

HR departments are filled with leeches who actually wallow in this crap–that’s when they’re not at meetings, conferences, shopping or too busy to answer the ‘phone because they’re making pretty cards on the office computers for their kids. The real miracle is that anything at all gets done. And they form a minefield which has to be negotiated by anybody who wants–you know–a real job.
