This is supposed to be some kind of journal? Ha. It's not much of a journal when just about anyone can read it. Even most idiots are smart enough to keep journals or diaries hidden in a drawer somewhere. This is probably more like those “letters to the editor” you see in the Times, right? People don't share their real thoughts, just the ones they think other people would like to hear. Not that people really want to hear that either. The Times should get rid of it...
So what do people really use this for? Advertising? Complaining? Giving sane people headaches?
Third Person: Commander Samuel Vimes considered his inbox.
At least, it had begun life as an inbox. Then papers had spilled out around its edges, making more of an in-corner. The latest paperwork hadn't been put on the desk at all, but onto a growing pile next to it.
He picked up a letter that had been dangling half off the desk. Another complaint from the Campaign for Equal Heights about where dwarf officers patrolled. They were insulted if dwarves mostly patrolled the heavily dwarfish areas, they were insulted if anyone but dwarves patrolled the heavily dwarfish areas, they were especially insulted if dwarves and trolls patrolled anywhere together...
With a groan, Vimes tossed the letter back onto a less formal pile a little behind and to the side of his chair, wich could be labeled “things I have better things to do than to bother with.”
Politics. Why did damn politics keep coming into things? Things could be so much simpler...
A sneaky little voice in the back of his head pointed out- not if you're doing it right.
Vimes sighed and picked up another letter from a concerned citizen. The city seemed to have an endless supply of them. They were probably kept sheltered in an attic somewhere only to be brought down in continual waves to start complaining.
He looked at the piles again.
He was supposed to delegate, wasn't he? Vetinari had hinted at that again recently, after Vimes had been involved in another foot chase (they'd caught the man). This probably wasn't what the Patrician had meant, of course, but the man hadn't been specific. Who could this lot be passed on to?
