Council Job ..apply within :)
Following on from JACKO's council thread, a topical joke for you lot 
A guy goes to the Local Council to apply for a job.
The interviewer asks him, 'Are you allergic to anything?'
He answers 'Yes - caffeine'
'Have you ever been in the services?'
'Yes,' he says. 'I was in Iraq for two years.'
The interviewer says, 'That will give you 5 extra points toward employment,' and then asks, 'Are you disabled in any way?
The guy says, 'Yes ...a bomb exploded near me and blew my ********* off.'
The interviewer tells the guy, 'O.K. In that case, I can hire you right now.
Normal hours are from 8 AM to 2 PM.
You can start tomorrow at 10:00 - and plan on starting at 10 AM every day.'
The guy is puzzled and says, 'If the hours are from 8 AM to 2 PM, why don't you want me to be here before 10 AM?' '
'This is a council job,' the interviewer says.
'For the first two hours we just stand around drinking coffee and scratching our bollocks, not really any point in you coming in for that.'

LOL, thankfully not.
I must admit, I am a public sector worker, but don't work for a council. I probably have the same view as most people as this is the first job I have ever done in the public sector. There are some people *IMHO* who are career spongers who do the minimum to not get "sacked", or as it's known as, "redeployed" elsewhere. Of course there are whingers and slackers, but most don't know how good they've got it. I for one work hard and I am studying within my job role to progress and do my job better. I'll also get a bit more money, which can't hurt

Having been a Civil Servant (I am neither civil or anyone's servant!) for 17 years I whole heartedly agree.Our office consisted of many, many people who just would not survive in the 'real' world!
We even had one guy who was soooooooooo lazy, he paid another guy to do his work for him!
I would like to think I always did my best, and was hard working - my boss always seemed to think so.
Now I don't have a choice as I work for the hubby! Gives a whole new meaning to 'sleeping with the boss'!!
