Inbound Good Idea, Brace, Brace, Brace…….

And so it begins.  Any good snap ambush commences with the identification of a good killing ground.  Depending on the intended victim of the GI a killing ground can range from the corridor outside the bosses office, over lunch in the wardroom or, if the recipient has been really unlucky their own office.  The GI has little basis of use, other than to glorify someones resume and highlight their climb over those around them.  The GI has apparent utility in that it takes a long time to achieve and therefore must be useful.  It also has the added bonus of being “fire and forget”.  We must be careful here to separate the GI from the Long Screw Driver as they are similar in methodology, can be mistaken for management and are devastating against morale.  The two however differ in that the fire and forget variant is often forgotten, whereas the Screw driver will be followed up by a longer one and a universal adjusting tool for added effect.
