The building where I work is rat-infested.
They routinely climb out of the toilets in the women's restroom. My computer software is so old, it is not even mouse-driven. It is still operating on function keys. The Chinese stole my birthday, my name, my social security number, and even my fingerprints. I was supposed to get a letter telling me what to do by June 28th. It is now July 20th and I have not received anything. Everyone I work with has advanced degrees in a hard science, yet we are called stupid and lazy. I see colleagues berated on TV by Congressmen for enforcing the laws that the Congressmen passed. It is insane. Mitch McConnell wants to use my private 401K to fund his highway bill. My private counterparts make about 40% more than me. Congress passed a law years ago that told the President to rectify the situation. Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barrack Obama have ignored that law - - and no one does anything about it.
I am a Federal Employee and I have come to believe that if Bush or Walker get in and fire me, it might really be for the best. The only reason I stick around is that I am proud to serve my country and I would feel horrible letting down the people I work with every day.
Yeah cuz a government job with union wages and benefits that pays 3 times what you're worth and 2 times more than the people paying your salary is such ****ing hard time! And there's no way you have computers that old. Even the military, who does more and serves more genuinely than you ever will (with a salary BELOW the private sector) doesn't even have computers that old and they're low man (oh, sorry, low persons) on the totem pole.
