Why Are We So Tired?


Why are we so tired?

For a couple years I've been blaming it on lack of sleep, not enough sunshine, too much pressure from my job, earwax build-up, poor
blood circulation, or anything else I could think of. But now I found out the real reason: I'm tired because I'm overworked.



Here's why:. . The population of this country is 273 million.
140 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. Leaving 19 million to do the work.


2.8 million are in the armed forces preoccupied with killing
Osama Bin-Laden. Which leaves 16.2 million to do the work


Take from that total the 14.8 million people who work for city
governments. And that leaves 1.4 million to do the work.


At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals. Leaving
1,212,000 to do the work.


Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons. That leaves just two
people to do the work.


You and me.

And there you are sitting on your butt, at your computer reading
blogs.


Nice. Real nice.

I sent that to my mom recently and she said, "I am quitting my job at the end of the month, so that just leaves you."

She did quit, Friday was her last day. So she is coming tomorrow to see her grandkids...while I get to do all the work LOL!!
