You Know You're Overworked
Because... |
For a couple of years I've been blaming it
on iron-poor blood, lack, of
vitamins, dieting and a dozen other maladies. But now I found out
the real reason I'm tired.
I'm overworked.
The population of this country is 237 million. 104 million are
retired.
That leaves 133 million to do the work.
There are 85 million in school,
which leaves 48 million to do the work. Of this there are 29 million
employed by the federal government. This leaves 19 million to do the
work.
Four million are in the Armed Forces, which
leaves 15 million to do the
work. Take from the total the 14,800,000 people who work for State and
City Government and that leaves 200,000 to do the work.
There are 188,000 in hospitals, so that
leaves 12,000 to do the work. Now,
there are 11,998 people in prisons.
That leaves just two people to do the work. You and me. And
you're
sitting here reading this.
