speaking back to the subject of WF&A, I'm watching something unfold right now that is going to solve a few problems for me---- the thing about thieves is they get cocky, and that makes them sloppy, and sloppy get's them busted... and busted in this situation means a seismic shift in a certain rank structure, and those involved may have extended vacations at the taxpayer's expense at the end...... and i'm just the dude to initiate it. and the icing? these guys need to go- have been in great need for a long time- but for one key mistake nobody (outside their circle) would know...
so... there was this gov't program, and a version of it still exists. we're talking a program over $100M a year... inside of it are projects... there are usually several going on at the same time. as was the case with one particular one... this particular one morphed into another, but using lessons learned from it's prior iteration, the way it's operated was drastically altered. a key piece of equipment was required in it's prior iteration, and one that cost around half a mil to purchase. these things last a few years, and they could last a lot longer except for the fact their computer monitored on a network, and those requirements change... and at some point the hardware can no longer support the software required to run it- so, the hardware is replaced... again, at a cost of around half a mil.... the hardware was 'scheduled' to be replaced last year- but the project morphed no longer needing this purchase. except for the fact it was already budgeted. and y'all guessed it.... these folks i hold in such low esteem are pushing the purchase through- and only the shadow knows where that money is going. (i happen to know, actually, and how)
i was told about it off the cuff, and by a person who has no understanding of what's going on. they just mentioned it in passing...... and..... all i've gotta do is let them get a little deeper into this and obligate themselves past the point of return- and drop the hammer with a single phone call.
I hate thieves. i hate liars. i hate people who do things at the expense of others with arrogant impunity, and i'm positive this isn't the first time this kinda thing has been done- it's just the first time i can prove it beyond doubt. good times in the coming weeks/months!!! I DON'T hate that. oh- and it will likely cost me my job to break this...... but... it's likely time anyway.
