Close enough for government work

To give you an idea of the kind of people with whom I work (not directly, but in the same building), check out this exchange between two unidentified employees overheard this morning in the hall.

Unidentified employee #1: What time is it?
Unidentified employee #2: About 9:30.
Unidentified employee #1: 9:30? Oh! I forgot to set my clock back. I thought it was 10:30. Wow, I actually got to work on time for once.

Your tax dollars at work. Well, sort of. "At work" might not be the best description.

(And for the record, I'm on my lunch break. No tax dollars going to waste here.)
