You know you work for the government when:

1. The process becomes more important than the product.
2. You don't see anything wrong with attending a meeting on a
subject you know nothing about.
3. You feel you contributed to the meeting just by being there.
4. You stop raising issues/problems because you know you will be
the one answering them.
5. 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.
6. You work for an acronym, on an acronym, and your job title is an
acronym.
7. You understand the rationalization of an acronym composed of
acronyms.
8. You know that the location of a meeting is directly related to
its importance. (A meeting at Fort Hood requires a subordinate or a
contractor, but the same meeting at Lake Tahoe requires your personal
attention.)
9. You've sat at the same desk for three years, done the same thing
for three years, but have had three different business cards.
