So, working for the government is a bit unique. Part of it seems to be much the same as any other business. There are internal politics and for all the government’s bluster about fair hiring practices, there seem to be an awful lot of close friends and siblings and “people you know” getting hired.

They love their acronyms as well, which they can’t seem to stop using, even to absolute newbies like myself. But I’m getting it. It’s finally kind of sinking in.

Thank goodness.
