And when your agency is very non political in a pretty non political department and both parties like the agency then you’ve got yourself some serious job security. Just heard who my new department secretary will be and I have no worries. Of course, in the very very very unlikely event that I would get laid off I have multiple connections with people in other agencies, contractors and whatnot. Rest assured Nicky’s tax dollars will still be used to get me laid. Bwahahahahaha!!!!
