As you know the Shitshow has a plethora of characters, from the Nail Clipper to T-Shirt guy. All of them are entertaining in their own way, but the one I find the most redeeming and entertaining is the Shitshow Fanatic.
The Shitshow Fanatic is usually a newer hire who believes there is real career opportunity at the Shitshow and that their flunktional manager cares about their development. Shitshow Fanatics constantly wears Shitshow polo shirts and t-shirts with pride, as opposed to wearing them as a result of poor laundry management skills or as a joke. In fact they often times swing by the Shitshow company store to look for any new apparel items or any clearance items. A Shitshow Fanatic’s cubical is decked out with program posters, commemorative pins, “performance” awards, and Shitshow training completion certificates.
But hope is not lost. Much like a caterpillar turning into a beautiful butterfly, given enough time Shitshow Fanatics become fellow rock throwers. While posters and certificates are still hung, they are now hung as a reminder of the joke they represent. Shitshow shirts are still worn but only because all of the other laundry is dirty.
Because even Franz Kafka would be surprised how much the Shitshow changes people, I throw rocks.
