Avoid The Safe Pair Of Hands

I hosted an inter-agency event a few years ago and to kick it off I asked the 50 or so attendees to just go wild with ideas, pop down every dream they've ever had about working inside government no matter how small, how big, how "crazy", how "mundane".

Yeah, I know, a bit like telling people to get creative!! "Und now, you vill be creative!!"

The intention was to get it out, know that you're not alone in your thinking, everyone has something they dream about.

And to dream is to hope is to plan is to focus is to do.

Here's just a hint at what some people deep inside government, the boring bureaucrats, the upright civil servants, the people like you and me dream about.

I like a few of these dreams from government workers, I especially like, "Avoid the safe pair of hands", and "Try more stuff?".

I also think free WiFi at police stations should happen!
