For a couple years I've been blaming it on lack of sleep, not enough sunshine, too much pressure from my job, earwax buildup, poor blood or anything else I could think of. But now I found out the real reason: I'm tired because I'm overworked. Here's why: The population of this country is 300 million. 167 million are retired. That leaves 133 million to do the work. There are 85 million in school. Which leaves 48 million to do the work. Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government. Leaving 19 million to do the work. 2.8 million are in the armed forces preoccupied with killing Osama Bin-Laden. Which leaves 16.2 million to do the work. Take from that total the 14.8 million people who work for state and city governments. And that leaves 1.4 million to do the work. At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals. Leaving 1,212,000 to do the work. Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons. That leaves just two people to do the work. You and me. And there you are, sitting on your ass, at your computer, reading jokes. Nice. Real nice.

Good one a l7bih. In fact we are overworked in here. I haven't had any holiday since april 2006 and I have to wait until march 2008. which means 2 years with practicaly every morning going to work and returning in the evening to eat and sleep. And guess what I use to complain about one month paid leave every year when I was working in leblad saying that was not enough. l3jeb ya akhi. We became exactly like hmir tahouna...
This is an interesting subject. I guess you guys are in the US. Almost everyone i Know there (different states) complain about being overworked. I also heard you are entitled to 2 weeks holiday only...and if you add to it not so great salaries (I hope it's not your case) well i wonder if America has ever grasped the concept of slavery!
