What DON'T you miss from "back home"?
Re: What DON'T you miss from "back home"?
The point of being a government employee is to stay employed. If people were actually productive, and things got done, eventually they would run out of things to do and risk being downsized. Do as little as possible and your job is secure. "They can't lay us off, look at all this backlog of work that needs doing".Tim Linkinwater wrote:In Britain, at least, you can't get anything done if you are dealing with any part of the state apparatus. The red tape and inefficiency is astounding, and unlike here you can't pay a "facilitator fee" to sort it out.

When I'm away I always miss being in Cambodia - I don't miss that so much when I'm here.
I think the grass is green on both sides of the fence - just looks different.
