This started as a Xmas post but my ADHD kicked in.

It's that time of year at work where it's too close to Christmas to actually start a new project, but not close enough that you can actually be seen not doing anything. The trick now is to look busy without actually accomplishing anything. Of course in the military we have people who do that all year round; they're called Officers.

Speaking of which, tomorrow is the traditional Officers At Home, which would be fine if it was just, you know, a bunch of officers staying home. But nuuuu. All the Senior NCOs (sgt and up) host the officers at our mess, where they drink all our booze and eat all our food.

So basically, if you were to deduce what Canadian Forces Officers do from this post, it would be: they look busy but do nothing and sponge of the NCOs.

*Hmm…come to think of it, that's about right.

* Being an NCO, I may be slightly biased. (This is a legal disclaimer. My lawyers made me say this and it's not true. Officers drool, NCOs rule!)
