pounder35 Loc: "Southeast of Disorder"

A guy goes into USPS to apply for a job.....

The interviewer asks him, "Are you allergic to anything?"

He replies, "Yes, caffeine. I can't drink coffee."

"Ok. Have you ever been in the military service?"

"Yes," he says, "I was in Afghanistan for one tour."

The interviewer says, "That will give you 5 extra points toward employment." Then he asks, "Are you disabled in any way?"

The guy says, "Yes. A bomb exploded near me and I lost both my testicles."

The interviewer grimaces and then says, "Disabled in your country's service! Well that qualifies for extra bonus points. Okay. Looking at the regulations you have got enough points for me to hire you right now. Our normal hours are from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. You can start tomorrow at 10:00 AM, and plan on starting at 10:00 AM every day."

The guy is puzzled and asks, "If the work hours are from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, why don't you want me here until 10:00 AM?"

"This is a government job," the interviewer says. "For the first two hours, we just stand around drinking coffee and scratching our balls. No point in you coming in for that."

Having worked for the Government for 20 years I can completely understand that...

Why don't government workers look out the window in the morning?



If they did, they would have nothing to do in the afternoon!

Having worked on the average of 10 hours a day for the govt. for 32 years, I don't understand it.

Maybe you should run for Congress. Then you would understand. :thumbup:

What part of Government.....I worked for them for 20 years, and can honestly say I didn't see much loafing in the "Working" area, but I did see Millions and Millions of dollars wasted...........

In my second to last year there, as Manager of the Department I was responsible for allocation of monies for various things and especially of the specialized equipment that we used. My budget at that time was 2.5 million dollars.

At the end of the year I had to put in requests for "new" equipment as well as the more mundane items used in the daily work. I was REQUIRED to make sure that I put in a requisition for MORE than 2.5 Million

This was a regular thing, occurring every year, Every new budget HAD to be more than the previous one.

Another small (well maybe not that small) expense and waste was when they decided to build a new building of any sort... when the dug footers, the sand soil required very intensive shoring up before concrete was poured. The contractors were required to use Marine Plywood graded A-A.... When the footers were set, the plywood was removed and burned...... Not Reused.... burned. I put in a request to purchase some of the wood and, of course, was refused... And you do realize that when they went to the next building site, new plywood was purchased...

And we wonder why our budget is so bad.... just a small, but informative possible cause...

I was in the Office of Policy & Liasion, National Guard Bureau. No slackers there. Mission and country came first.

The beauty of retirement is that I can spend the entire day doing what the USPS does in the first two hours! :)

Congratulations! Probably one of the few worthwhile government jobs. I support the military which of course includes the Guard and Reserves. :thumbup:
