Have you seen the scene from the movie “office space” about the memo and the new coversheets??? The new CUI sheet reminded me of the scene from the movie. Hilariously deja vu.

The most anal job I have ever been exposed to in my career life, that is why I left it. It was the right move.

I am watching “Office Space” right now while typing a DHS case. Must remember to type SUBJECT and not Subject.

lol, a lawyer got involved somewhere. It used to be Special Investigator “WITH” OPM, then Special Investigator “FOR” OPM, then Special Investigator “RETAINED BY” OPM/NBIB/DCSA, now its Contract Investigator. Gov wants to make sure the general public knows were not feds. Basically the important part for soliciting cooperation is shiny badge something something Investigator.

The one contract I work we have to say “Contract Investigator retained by the US Government” and then we show them this pitiful and cheap looking badge given out by the company. I am honestly shocked anyone talks to me.

The silver badge looks like a toy sheriff’s badge from a kids cowboy costume made in china…soooo cheap it’s embarrassing. The ones we had before that looked authentic.

The gold on my badge has mostly rubbed off and now everyone thinks I’m a contractor. I has a sad.

I think showing our “badge” these days actually decreases our credibility. It makes us look like laughable politicians and imposters who flash these things around for effect. I show mine discreetly and put it away as quickly as possible.
