Title: Who is working?
Post by: Petrie. on August 06, 2008, 03:23:25 PM

For a couple of years I have been blaming it on lack of sleep and too much pressure from my job, but now I found out the real reason: I'm tired because I'm overworked.  The population of this country is 237 million.  104 million are retired.  That leaves 133 million to do the work.  There are 85 million in school, which leaves 48 million to do the work.  Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government, leaving 19 million to do the work.  2.8 million are in the Armed Forces, which leaves 16.2 million to do the work.  Take from the total the 14,800,000 people who work for the State and City governments and that leaves 1.4 million to do the work.  At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals, leaving 1,212,000 to do the work.  Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons.  That leaves just two people to do the work.  You and me.  And you're sitting at your computer reading jokes.   :yes  :slap  :slap  :rolleyes:  :lol:  :lol

Wish I could claim ownership of that.  Someone brought it into work.  Gee, now that I think of it, working in a public school, I technically have a state govt. job therefore I'm not working. :p :p

Neither are the 5 or 10 'supervisors' of each 1 guy working on those road crew jobs that I"m sure at least some of us have seen here and there.

Pfft! LOL so true! :p  :lol  :lol
these 'supervisors' are having "safety meetings" as they like to call them: standing around in a circle, talking.  :P:

Is that what they are doing?  I was curious what they were doing besides supervising the single employee under them.   :p  :lol
