Serial slasher strikes again in Dotland!

Terror again stalks the halls of Dotland. The Sword of Right-Sizing has claimed another victim. Cornflower has become a DIT. Further, the White Queen promises "deeper cuts!" Is no one safe?
Meanwhile the {beep} Library Manager does not get any faster. Silver is told not to complain about it because "it's political". Really? We're to believe that there are people in the Duchy who want {beep} to go even slower? Have you looked at the new org chart? The Lime Green Knight is in charge of the {beep} "speed issues." The Lime Green Knight and Dotland report to the Black Queen. The Black Queen reports to the White Queen. The White Queen reports to the Duke. The other interested party in the {beep} "speed issue" is the department formerly known as TS. They now report to ...TBA! And wait, they aren't a real department anymore, they're a dotted line labeled "liason". It looks like TS is now SOL. So now we're to believe that the Black Queen doesn't have the political clout to get a leaderless non-department to spend some time fixing the {beep} speed issue. Wow.
While we're on the subject of the org chart, it clearly needs some sprucing up. There aren't nearly enough meaningless colors. Obviously, there's a need for some glitter, some flowers, some stars, more embellishments in general. Silver and Purple are thinking of a "Decorate the Org Chart" contest. They have to do something to pass the time while waiting for {beep} to put up the three screens of gibberish that mean "That search is not happenin'".

Must be great to have a monitor that is large enough to be able to read the org chart!

As long as we're (re)decorating the chart, how about moving lines around to make sense?

Poor cornflower. Soon there will be no one left to provide "service" to the customers. Oh wait, if the customer can't access the resources, then there is no need to have the resources because no one uses them. I'm figuring out admin thinking!

I am totally Blue, what will we do without Cornflower?? I can't beleive she has been cut down in her prime, she comes from such great stalk (or is that stock?). The Duchy would be wise in sending her to a near-by village to tend to the flocks - oh wait, that would be a WISE thing to do and we're talking about the Duchy here! We will just have to keep our fingers crossed that they come to their senses before Corn finds the path to greener (or blue-er) pastures and is swept away!

Sigh...(A very blue) Blue
