Dwight Schrute As FEMA Head?
I'm a huge fan of the NBC show "The Office," and a good friend who's also a fan passed this along to me:
In the US version, there's a running joke between the "general
manager" (played by Steve Carell) and his underling, Dwight Schrute,
where they keep arguing back and forth about Schrute's title. Schrute's
real title is "assistant to the general manager," but he keeps saying it as
"assistant general manager," to Carell's frustration.
So, from the TIME article on FEMA chief Brown, with relevant info bolded:
Before joining FEMA, his only previous stint in emergency management,
according to his bio posted on FEMA's website, was "serving as an assistant
city manager with emergency services oversight." The White House
press release from 2001 stated that Brown worked for the city of Edmond,
Okla., from 1975 to 1978 "overseeing the emergency services division." In
fact, according to Claudia Deakins, head of public relations for the city of Edmond,
Brown was an "assistant to the city manager" from 1977 to 1980, not a manager
himself, and had no authority over other employees.
