It could happen to you: your career, your life, decided with one mouseclick. Imagine it’s another crap day at work in your crap office. You’re either bored out of your mind or so angry you could explode (or both), and your only satisfaction comes from spending the entire morning writing a brilliantly nasty email in which you call your bastard boss all sorts of name (and spending the entire afternoon Photoshop-ing pictures of his head onto the bodies of farm animals). Unfortunately, when it comes time to send your masterpiece to your buddy in accounting, you mistakenly email it to—you guessed it—your boss.So we should accept the government’s explanation that a recent travel advisory warning Thais considering travel to France was a “technical slip-up.” And we should feel especially sympathetic to the poor lackey (or lackeys) at the Foreign Ministry who wrote the memo recommending that travelers “consider postponing or canceling their trip to France during the current summer period.” Because the only thing worse than pissing off your boss is pissing off the French.Still, we appreciate the gesture. It’s nice to know that our tax money is being spent coming up with helpful hints like, “Dear tourist, if you decide to stop for a delicious meal of Chinese food on your way back to the hotel from the Louis Vuitton boutique, don’t leave your jewelry and wallet on the dashboard of your rental car.”It also warms our heart to see officials taking on duties not traditionally associated with their respective ministries. Forget the days of “That’s not my job”—the current administration has really encouraged politicians and lifetime civil servants to act like one big happy family. So when the Tourism Authority of Thailand closed its office for a day for customer service training, the chaps at the Foreign Ministry were only too happy to help out with the “Paris is Burning!” press release. In return, next week the TAT will be leading a delegation to Burma to negotiate for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi.Another prime example of team spirit occurred recently at Suvarnabhumi Airport, when Labor Minister Somsak Thepsuthin led an unannounced test of the security system. In front of a large crowd of media and invited guests, the metal detectors worked as they should and security staff found the metal object, pornographic VCDs and clownfish that Somsak had hidden in his shoes. “I feel safe!” the helpful caretaker told reporters before rushing outside, most likely to assist engineers with a new drainage system or chefs in the catering department with their new menus.
