Is the typical government worker hard-working? Excellent? Brave? These are common themes about government employees coming out of Hollywood. I have only worked in government jobs a couple of times - once as a school teacher, and once in the military. While there are many hard-working teachers, schools as an institution do not excel very often. The military tends to breed excellence, hard work, and bravery but that is a unique government institution.
Methinks that Hollywood is projecting their political philosophy; one in which the best and the bravest are career bureaucrats and/or lawyers into their plot lines without reflecting reality accurately.

Oh lord. I would answer you but I am a government employee and today is aluminum siding day and I have off. Actually, they are willing to chat during work hours, just dont interrupt them during their break.
