Really?

Do you want to go there? My drawings that are submitted for review by my large metropolitan city review staff still takes three weeks. Of course no layoffs there and nothing is being built, but still three weeks for a fucking landscape plan. You think you can get a phone call to them? No again. Still voicemail. The city is screaming about cutbacks but still no one gets laid off. But the boogeyman they throw out is "well there goes the police and fire"....which is used to scare people.

Federal? You federal workers really take the cake, as I have NEVER hear of a person fired, laid off, or anything to that effect, and I deal with those agencies in my profession a great deal. But go ahead, get pissy about your pay freeze, while people like me, with two college degrees works at 1/3rd pay, no benefits, and about 10 hours a week. Go ahead, endear yourselves to the rest of us dying out here.
