Shitshow Amnesia

Years ago when I actually cared, I would come into the Shitshow at 8am and eagerly await the challenges the day brought with it. When I first started, it was not uncommon for me to work 12 hour days and sometimes even more since I figured this was the sure fire way to get promotions and work my way up the Shitshow food chain. WRONG! At the time, Bob was working with me and I would watch his daily Houdini act and wonder how he got away with it and wonder why my hard work didnt ever lead to me getting promotions and then one day it just hit me! The reason is due to Shitshow Amnesia. This is the phenomenon occurring at the Shitshow where no one remembers anything more than 2 weeks into the past. Whether you worked your ass off for 16 hours a day for 6 months or you showed up to work high on PCP, no one remembers it if it was over 2 weeks ago. No joke. This explains how Bob got away with his disappearing act for so long before it finally caught up with him. Shitshow amnesia should not be confused with Warm Body Syndrome (WBS) but they are indirectly related.

Over my years at the Shitshow, the utter complexity of the mess I see on a daily basis has led me to formulate many terms to better understand the nature and inner workings of the Shitshow. This is what I like to refer to as Shitshow-oloy, or the study of the Shitshow.

Because my job is such a damn mess that I have to make up words to try to understand it to keep myself sane, I throw rocks.
