You know you work for government when...

.......

     * The process becomes more important than the product

* You don''t see anything wrong with attending a meeting on a subject you know nothing about

* You feel you contributed to the meeting just by being there

* You stop raising issues/problems because you know you will be the one answering them.

* You fly first class across the country to attend a conference with 100+ people to discuss the fact that the project does not have enough money

* You work for an acronym, on an acronym, and your job title is an acronym

* You understand the rationalization of an acronym composed of acronyms

* You know that the location of a meeting is directly related to its importance. (1) A meeting at Fort Hood requires a subordinate or a contractor (2) The same meeting at Lake Tahoe requires your personal attention

* You''ve sat at the same desk for 3 years, done the same thing for 3 years, but have had 3 different business cards

I saw this somewhere, i think it was on www.military.com and there were a whole bunch more, all of them pretty funny. the military.com comedy page can be very funny if you know what they are talking about.
