So, there I am, standing in a local government office . . . waiting . . . waiting, the line growing and growing. As in most offices of this type (at least in my experience) the staff appears to be completely oblivious to the fact that they are actually at work and that there are people waiting for them to do their job. I couldn't help but overhear several conversations, one of which I found to be comical and truly sad at the same time.
Supervisor: "This is your third reprimand."
Employee: "You ain't got no right to reprimand me, and you cain't fire me, I does my job."
I truly wanted to ask the question, "What exactly is it that you does?"
