Last year I got something called the hells itch which almost literally drove me off the deep end. Apparently, aloe only works up to a point and the real winner is surprisingly tea tree oil and shockingly, heat. Supposedly, applying hot water like a bath tricks your nerves and actually alleviates the pain. It actually worked. Google hells itch. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.
Until I read the last paragraph, the entire article I was just thinking how your problems could have been solved by a gator tail or two. Oh well. Happy retirement.
Let’s also not overlook that this study was commissioned by a group led by John Podesta, who is Hillary Clinton’s campaign chair. Take it with a grain of salt.
Well, no. Getting paid well right out of college is great. However, in the grand scheme of things, you are insignificant. Does working in a government agency suck? Of course it does. Nobody is arguing otherwise. However, when you start talking about direct staffers of members or committees, or campaign consultants, or other related peoples, you are essentially speaking to the power structure of the state you live in/the country.
Do you love/hate the amount of state tax you pay? A staffer came up with that. Do you like taking uber in the city you live in? Staffers drafted the legislation. Wake up, kid. This is how the world works.
I’ll take Hill experience and multiple campaign wins on a resume against Joe corporate climber any day. And the funny thing about that, is that most private sector employers do too. Also, not to mention the connections you make with lobbyists, trade representatives, other members, and important community leaders. But if you’re asking, I’ll take steak. Make sure you don’t forget the guac.
Here’s the thing: You’re wrong about everything. Let’s say he decides to stay where he is for over 30 years. By the time he retires, the pension and retirement benefits he gets are good enough that he won’t have to do a damn thing for the rest of his life. And that’s just if he stays. What you fail to realize is that most people in the private sector don’t know a damn thing about the government and how it works. If you’re a low level bullshit position, then yeah, you aren’t going anywhere quickly. But if you work in communications, marketing, or the political side of things, the world is your goddamn oyster. There’s a reason D.C. is full of 26-27 year-olds making far more then most other’s their age. It’s because you get in, make the connects, do the work, then get out into the private sector and crush it.
The ignorance is strong with this one.
This is one of the most spot on articles ever written. I salute you for writing this. You also need to make sure you call (or pretend to call) the IT desk at least 3 times a week to let everyone within earshot know that technical difficulties will not get in the way of you performing your laughably little amount of work for Uncle Sam.
Stop being so butthurt and accept reality. How many times are you going to post a disappointing “column” with 20 variations of “fuck off, JayTas” in the comments before you quit living in denial and just actually fuck off. Fucking hell dude, just give it a rest. It’s over.

This is precisely why got invented Copenhagen wintergreen.

Breaking up with somebody on a cliff is like firing somebody on a Tuesday, after the whole office went on a bonding trip to the local gun range.

Making decisions that impact your life is pretty nice….
It’s like Meow-Shwitz in there

This article is one of the most incredible things I’ve read in the last year. Hands down.
I don’t care what you decide to print your resignation letter on, just make sure you do it. Soon. Get the lead out, sport.
Also, spelling. IDGAF

Hopefully, the last one happens to JayTas. Sooner rather than later.

Doing this now, and I don’t regret it for a second. This is some of the most outlandish shit I’ve ever read.
This is the truest statement I’ve seen on here in a long, long time.
Solid theory. He probably recruited his yankee Internet army to help back him up.
Saw this response coming from a mile away. You really keep us guessing, JayTas.
