Royal Edict 101

A new king has arrived in town and he didn't like what he saw.

The laughter and the friendly atmosphere, the merry way and the flexible hour, they all irritated him immensely. Out of all the things that he hated, the one thing that he absolutely could not tolerate was the vast emptiness that he faced every morning when he surveyed his kingdom two hours before official working hour.

So he looked deep into himself and grabbed hold onto his leadership and said,

"Henceforth this day, I want to see everyone when I am here."

Feeling unsatisfied, he reflected upon his daily routine to search for some more evident or hint of his subjects' indolence. He realized that when return to his palace every afternoon before the setting of the winter sun, no one is keeping a watchful eye on the masses.

Feeling utterly disturbed, the king once again reached within himself and scoop up some more of those leadership that is oh so warm and sticky and aromatic and declared,

"Henceforth this day, not only I want to see everyone when I am here, no one can leave before the designated hour."

Feeling somewhat satisfied (for now), the king retreated to his throne room to cook up some more ways to improve productivity, corporate culture, internal communication and most importantly, to exercise his leadership while letting the Mayor to deal with the violent aftermath.

Moral of the story - I will be staying in the office a lot more while doing nothing at all, so I should be updating more now.

Long Live the King (Yah)
