Stealth Absence...the new wave of town management?
Helena is working diligently at keeping her good friend and source of entertainment, Pete-ard, front and center in the limelight. I think I'm not ready to let go just yet.
Because of this, I decided to write about a little known accomplishment that several Supervisors have employed over the years, a little technique known as Stealth Absence.
Stealth Absence is achieved when a Supervisor's lack of presence in Town Hall actually contributes to more work being accomplished. Both Wayne Guttmann and Peter DiSclafluffy have successfully employed this technique, which is only taught in darkened bar rooms and secret society halls around the country.
Evidence of the technique in action is seen at town board meetings as the Supervisor sits, not really knowing what is going on around him while things are voted on and questions from the audience are answered by other town representatives.
Chaos and frustration are unfortunate side effects of this technique. However, an easy remedy is to vote in a new Supervisor and hope the next one employes the Quick to think on their feet technique.
