Robbie, please, PLEASE, don’t talk to me about opinions of all things. I’m sure you wouldn’t be able to handle most opinions people have about you.

And trust me, I am an avid reader. If I couldn’t I would assume that Ivy League education and Master’s Degree in Organizational Management would have been a complete waste.

But, since we’re talking opions here’s mine (from someone who has no cat in this fight other than being a resident of this fine City). 1,300 + form 109s were destroyed. Big deal. From what I understand the information on those forms are put into a digital format. You then received those “digitized” print outs. You got the information requested. Granted, from following this story for a bit I’m still a bit unsure what the issue is. The forms were destroyed, you received the info anyway, the department will be trained on record retention, the forms won’t be destroyed again, end of story. In my point of view this is a colossal waste of everyone’s time.

If Jim covers a shift for Ted then Ted owes a shift to Jim. It’s a wash. Having owned multiple businesses in multiple states, I find it extremely hard to believe that Jim wakes up sick in the morning and calls Ted ( who just so happens to be waiting by his phone with no other plans, work, commitments that day) to cover his shift rather than using a sick day. You know why I find that hard to believe? Because I live in the real world. I don’t live in a fantasy world where I expect everything to be perfect. Seriously though, does it happen? Yeah, maybe here and there. Do I think it happens as much as you say? Absolutely freaking not! If so, these guys deserve some sort of an award for coordinating something like you accuse.

I read somewhere that the WFD Budget makes up 7% of the City’s overall budget. Can you confirm?

Again, I applaud you for taking such an interest in the finances of this city. I really do. I just simply cannot fathom some of the accusations you come forth with. Maybe I’m jealous of the amount of time you can devote to such frivolous activity or maybe I’m just so happy that you never worked for one of my companies.

Speaking of beer, I’d love to have one! I’d like to have one with you though! Not Mr. Corrente. I would even buy considering how tight your pockets are.

Happy Shoveling!
