I'm not going to go into detail, but let's just say Politics is a 4 letter word times 2. Also you have to take a lot of flack from the public "because taxpayer." They know it, and you deal with it with a smile on your face. Throw in Unions on top of it, and FFS don't cross that line, or ask anyone to do anything beyond their job description. On the other hand I went to vacuum up a mess in our supply room and was told I wasn't allowed to because I'm not a union worker. No, but it would have taken me less than a minute to do it, but then it became a whole thing.

I make the best of it, but I still look for a private sector job, because that's where I feel I belong.
