Someone at my last job was the other side of that farce.

We hired him when he left the Navy at some lowly technicians job title because he was enlisted and only had an associates degree (working on a BS but not done yet); despite the fact that as an SME he was doing technical work well above that level. But he was one of our two on-base personnel for the project and as such was present at industry days and other events where he was meeting with lots of potential customers/suppliers so he was also doing mid-level engineer/entry level management work in that case as well; which meant that he really did need to have business cards of his own. However someone senior in HR was being stubbornly inflexible about people at that junior level never being supposed to have business cards.

His line manager/our program manager went through 3 or 4 cycles of filling out the justification outside of normal process paperwork only to have a warm body at the next level send it back with an automatic denial being reported at the weekly team meetings. The final round of the farce had him saying he was going to be meeting with the head of HR to ask if she would accept that a policy override was needed and approve the business card request, or if he needed to ram an out of cycle promotion through the system instead wasting a ton more of everyone's time and costing far more than the few boxes of cards/year would run. We never heard anything more of it, so I assume the head was either capable of seeing reason or lazy enough to not want to deal with the other half of his threat.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
