The sad thing is, those types come in EVERY field. I am continually amazed at people who would rather play "measuring" games than do their jobs. Geez.

When I worked at a PR agency, we used to call it "pissing on [event]." As in, "Is Michelle going to approve that copy?" "Yeah, but she's got to piss on it first." Functionaries who needing to assert their authority by sticking a stinky finger into an otherwise fine pie is infuriating in the civilian world, where all that is on the line are project timelines or profits, but during wartime? The fact that he can't get over himself when the stakes are high is what pushes generic human d-baggery across the line into truly pathetic. He loves your stories, but in the end, he doesn't want to help. Ugh, bureaucrats.
