Yeah, I've had 1 or 2 jobs in my younger years in the public sector.. I once spent an entire day learning how to lift objects by bending my knees and not my back. You better stock up on some pro-plus to keep awake during it all!

Far from it, once my mortgage is paid off I plan to get public sector role close to home so I can sit back and relax for 25 years before retirement.

Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
