Public Works Department

My perception of government is that government's perception of my perception of government is grossly distorted.

Here's an example. When you're coordinating a large fleet of trucks that pick up and deliver a variety of supplies and equipment and perform various tasks thoughout the county, like in the Public Works Department, it's impossible to time things right down to the minute. In fact, it's pretty common to wrap up one job and not have time before the end of the work day to travel and replenish a truck's supplies, travel to a new job site and then complete that new job before it's time to clock out.
