A buddy from Monaco was at a different conference in the same hotel in Switzerland, and he sent me this great humor from David Letterman.
Here are the top 10 ways to tell if you are a bureaucrat.
10.) You take a week off to protest in Wisconsin and your office runs better.
9.) On a snow day, when they say “non-essential” people should stay home you know who they mean.
8.) You get paid twice as much as a private sector person doing the same job but make up the difference by doing half as much work.
7.) It takes longer to fire you than the average killer spends on death row.
6.) The worse you do your job, the more your boss avoids you.
5.) You think the French are working themselves to death.
4.) You know by having a copy of the Holy Koran on your desk your job is 100% safe.
3.) You spend more time at protest marches than at church.
2.) You have a Democratic congressman’s lips permanently attached to your butt.
1.) You pay more in union dues than you do for your healthcare insurance.

I’m a member of a public sector union (I think) but I’m not allowed not to be. I’m a graduate student at a public university. I’m looking forward to finishing so I can not feel guilty about living off my fellow taxpayers. Keep up the great work Dan!
