Beat-itis
An acute, situational psychological condition observed exclusively within upper-tier management and command staff. It is characterized by a profound, sudden aversion to fulfilling operational field duties—specifically the routine patrolling or supervision of an assigned geographical area (the "beat") typically reserved for lower-ranking or peasant-tier personnel.
The onset of beat-itis is highly predictable, typically manifesting several hours prior to the transmission of a poorly timed, grammatically suspect text message to fellow command staff claiming a sudden, unverifiable illness.
