Why do most people who are public servants have the jobs they do?
BECAUSE THEY CANNOT GET A JOB IN THE REAL WORLD.
True story: A few weeks ago, I was out to dinner with a group of 15. Sitting near me was a a woman who worked for the county in accounting. She was educated, professional and nice enough. When asked about her job, her main complaint was that they did not allow internet access from her desk, thereby keeping her from playing games online.
"I mean, what am I supposed to do when there's nothing to do?", she said and she was dead pan serious.
Somewhat dumbfounded, I responded "So what do you do?" "Read, mostly", she said.
It wasn't the place to rip into her, to remind her that the guys that actually pay the taxes that support her job and ridiculous pension have NEVER had time at work with nothing to do. I found the whole thing disgusting.
