The first time I saw a reference to this, I thought it was a joke. Apparently, it’s not; there really is a position in the White House entitled “Director for Lessons Learned.” Pays $106,641.
Talk about a rough job, I imagine Mr. Baker’s daily routine goes something like this.
(1) Arrive at work.
(2) Turn on computer.
(3) Check messages.
(4) Open file “What we learned today.”
(5) Review text: “What we did yesterday was exactly right.”
(6) Save file.
(7) Print and send or email file to Oval Office.
(8) Turn off computer.
(9) Go home.
