Think Tank Solves World Problems - Lost to Bureaucracy

What Bureaucrats Don’t Want You To Know: Think Tank Solves World Problems During Unauthorized Coffee Break

In a devastating blow to proper institutional protocol, sources confirm that a leading think tank solves world problems during an unsanctioned caffeine break, only to have the solutions vanish into the bureaucratic void due to improper documentation procedures and a tragic shortage of authorized note-taking personnel.

The Unscheduled Enlightenment

“This is exactly why we don’t allow unscheduled breakthroughs,” states Roy Moss, PISR’s Director of Information, via typewriter from his undisclosed location in Alaska. “I don’t trust computers, and now we can’t even trust coffee breaks. The wolves are circling, and they’re after our solutions.”

When asked about retrieving the lost solutions, Jeeves Askerman, PISR’s Customer Disservice representative, provided his standard response: “Have you tried checking the FAQ page? If that’s not sufficient, please spend several hours talking to our automated system about how you feel about losing world-changing solutions.”

The Documentation Debacle

Sir Humphrey Appleby, noted civil servant, was quoted as saying: “Well, yes and no, Minister. While solving global problems is indeed within our remit, doing so without proper documentation is, I would venture to suggest, not just irregular but positively anarchic.”

Implementation of New Prevention Measures

To prevent future unauthorized problem-solving incidents, the think tank has implemented:

– Mandatory 47-page forms for documenting casual conversations

– Installation of “thought-catching” devices in all coffee areas

– A new committee to oversee the committee that oversees coffee breaks

– Emergency protocol for handling unexpected outbreaks of solutions

“Look,” sighs Max Perkins, PISR’s Managing Editor, “we all know the think tank solves world problems regularly. But if it’s not properly documented in triplicate, backed up on microfilm, and stored in a nuclear-proof vault, did it really happen? Now excuse me while I avoid doing any actual work.”
