government

The government is soooo inefficient, in so many ways. But so far, that's its worst flaw as far as I can tell. The way I see it, better widespread inefficiency than widespread corruption. On a sidenote, I've been in a corporate environment that was much worse (but the company I worked at almost went under, and eventually got bought out, so maybe not the best example, haha).

On the plus side, being in an imperfect environment means that there's a lot of room for improvement. I feel like I can make a difference here, whereas if I were in a more streamlined workplace I'd just be a cog in a well-oiled wheel? Or maybe that's just what I tell myself to make myself feel better :)

Was considering leaving the program, but after some thought, I think I'll stick with it.
