You did what you were told or you didn't get paid, and if things went wrong it wasn't your problem. It was the fault of whatever idiot has accepted this message for sending in the first place.

Headquarters had even started an Employee of the Month scheme to show how much they cared. That was how much they didn't care. Terry Pratchett
About This Quote
