Tired Canadian
[I am
constantly tired, and constantly stressed. For a couple years I've been blaming it on lack
of sleep and too much pressure from my job, but now I found out the real reason: I'm tired
because I'm overworked...]
The population of Canada is 33 million.
15 million are retired. That leaves 18 million to do the work.
There are 11 million in school, which leaves 7 million to do the work.
Of this there are 4.9 million employed by the federal government, leaving 2.1 million to
do the work.
100 thousand are in the Armed Forces, which leaves 2 million to do the work.
Take from the total the 1,100,000 people who work for provincial and city governments and
that leaves 900,000 to do the work.
At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals, leaving 712,000 to do the work.
Now, there are 711,998 people in prisons.
That leaves just two people to do the work.
You and me.
And you're sitting at your computer reading joe-ks...
