re: Anyone ever work for the government?

Worked as a paid intern a few summers ago for the local police jury. Only complaints were shitty coffee and work starting at 8 instead of 9 (I was a lazy 19 year old).

I know it's probably not what you're looking for, but the people I worked with seemed very knowledgeable and competent and always willing to help, so there's that.

ETA: also helped that it was the engineering dept. and not the regular riff raff circlejerking that government work is known for
