WE TRAINED HARD, BUT IT SEEMED THAT EVERY TIME
WE WERE BEGINNING TO FORM INTO TEAMS WE WOULD BE
REORGANIZED.
I WAS TO LEARN LATER IN LIFE THAT WE TEND TO
MEET ANY NEW SITUATION BY REORGANIZING.

AND WHAT A WONDERFUL METHOD IT CAN BE FOR
CREATING THE ILLUSION OF PROGRESS
WHILE PRODUCING CONFUSION, INEFFICIENCY, AND
DEMORALIZATION.
Petronius 66 A.D. Roman Satirist.
