Paratrooper

Its not everyday that two pleasant surprises turn up at your work place.
Its not everyday that your able to laugh.

But it is because these don't occur everyday that you acknowledge the unique and rarity of such occurrences.

Paratrooper - A person who uses backdoor methods to get into a certain position, whether it be employment, society or royalty.

In this day and age, 'paratrooping' is a common occurrence. So much so that a modern phrased has been coined - 'its not what you know but who you know.' It appears that paratrooping has become an accepted means of action throughout society. However, where is the line drawn? When is it paratrooping acceptable? One could argue that paratrooping is never acceptable. Others would contest that paratrooping is acceptable provided it is merely to get your ' foot in the door' so to speak.

Myself? I prefer the latter reasoning. Once a foothold is in the door, one should rely on their own merits and strengths to further progress. Any further actions of paratrooping would more likely evolve into .... say an all out air assault. One should rely on their own abilities and staple those sheets, copy those papers and run those errands.
