You know you have been working for the Government too long when:

• The process becomes more important than the product.
• You understand the reason for different colors of money.
• You don't see anything wrong with attending a meeting on a subject you know nothing about.
• You feel you contributed to the meeting by simply being there.
• You realize that a paperless office is impossible. Actually you believe it is possible, just not yours.
• You keep documents/manuals on projects that have been long since canceled.
• You stop raising issues/problems because you know you will be the one answering them.
• You understand the rationalization of an acronym comprised of acronyms.
• You believe that 40 hours charged to one code is lazy, but 40 hours charged to multiple codes is initiative.
• You know the proper number of blank spaces that should follow a roman numeral index.
• You often use the word SHALL while writing.
• You work for an acronym, on an acronym, and your job title is an acronym.
• Knowing that a squeaky wheel gets either oiled (good) or replaced (bad), you remain silent.
• You've sat at the same desk for 3 years, done the same thing for 3 years, but  have had 3 different business cards. (change in: chain of command, job title, command or division renamed)
