government job

A soft job that may not pay much, but has great bennies and little is expected. The incompetent are encouraged to apply.

I went to get license plates and waited 2 hours. Hurricane Katrina highlights the government job.

Government Job

A typical venue of legal employment, characterized by hourly wages, labor taxation, and usually a timeclock, as opposed to working under-the-table, straight commission, or illegally.

This heat's too much, 'cuz. When I get back maybe I'll just get me a government job somewhere and quit trappin' for at least a little minute.

government job

Unofficial task done in the workplace. Common abbreviation: G-job. Origin: during WWII, some sensitive tasks were given directly to a worker, and his supervisor might not be authorized to know exactly what it was. Thus the response when the supervisor questions what appears to be personal work done on company time: "it's government work."

Hey Tim, you're not scheduled to be running the lathe today, what are you working on? Just a little "government job".
