No, 2 more to go. They're making me work a month's notice. Next weekend they want me to install a new core switch before I go.

Reminds me of a TV commercial here with Tiger Woods..... he goes to a grocery store and at the register, the clerk asks him, "Cash or check?" He replies, "Check!", and holds up a huge cardboard prize check from winning a golf tournament. The clerk says, "We only take little checks."

Ordered some 9apparently) all-singing, all-dancing, you-can't-bend -it hair straightners. Then I just have to referee the fights over them in the morning as the daughter tries to use them before school.

Positive. I saw the ad too. There wasn't a pallet of doors to be seen. Definitely a grocery store.

I don't work like that - ever. One more reason to want to get back to the real world of work.

C'mon, Sprior. I'm overstating the case for humorous purposes. Of course the vast majority of governmental workers are doing their jobs the best they can. We all do. It's like lawyer jokes-too rich an opportunity to pass by. No offense intended.
