Government Employee New Year Resolutions: A Survival Guide
Ah, the New Year—a time for hope, optimism, and wildly unrealistic goals that fizzle out by February. But hey, if you’re a government employee, your resolutions aren’t just goals—they’re mission-critical objectives.
Here’s a peek into the ultimate New Year resolution list for federal and postal workers:
- Actually Use My Leave: Because leave hours shouldn’t carry over until retirement.
- Say No to “Optional” Meetings: If it could’ve been an email, it should’ve been an email.
- Conquer the Office Coffee Pot: Brew coffee so strong even the budget department can’t water it down.
- Locate My Desk Under the Paperwork: Rumor has it there’s a desk under there—2024 is the year to find out.
- Make Peace with the Printer: Try to print a document without it becoming a hostage negotiation.
So, as we roll into the New Year, remember: resolutions are like government projects—planned in December, stalled in January, and reevaluated in March. You got this…probably.
