Yes, I'm tired. For several years I've been blaming it on middle age, poor blood, lack of vitamins, air pollution, saccharin, obesity, dieting, under arm odour, yellow wax build up and another dozen maladies that make you wonder if life really is worth living.
But I find out it aint that.
I'm tired because I'M overworked.
The population of this country is 51 million, 21 million are retired. That leaves 30 million to do the work. There are 19 million in school. That leaves 11 million to do the work, of this total 2 million are unemployed, and 4 million are employed by the government. That leaves 5 million to do the work. One million are in the armed forces, which leaves 4 million to do the work. From that total 3 million are employed by County and Borough Councils, leaving one million to do the work. There are 62.000 people in hospitals and 937.998 in prisons.
That leaves 2 people to do the work.
You and Me.
And you are sitting on your arse reading this.
No wonder I'm bloody tired.
