I used to subcontract for the state. Government employees are either completely incompetent, completely checked-out or completely short-time.

My trick was to engage the checked-out ones enough to get shit done and work through the short-time ones before they returned to private industry.

I absolutely know what you mean. I acknowledge this job is just a small step toward a brighter future when it comes to my career path. I suppose if I were a lifer I would probably become incredibly apathetic just to retain my sanity.
