Get the Civil service syndrome mug.The boogeyman of Northern California, this character has taken the form of various characterso ver time, including a demon, spirit, human and animal. It is said that he is virtually indestructible and roams the earth in the name of evil. There are several tales involving the Civil Servant, and they have a common theme- if a child misbehaves, then the Sacramento Civil Servant will get them and put them in his sack.
Not much is knonwn of the true origin of these stories. Some claim they were tall-tales spun by nomadic Lebanese immigrants wandering about Northern California at the turn of the 20th century. Others assert the stories are more recent, and are the work of a vindictive communist.

Borgnine, if you don't behave, the Sacramento Civil Servant will take you away!
If the Sacramento Civil Servant offers to trade you something, do not accept! His motive is pure evil!

Get the Sacramento Civil Servant mug.Related Words
An employee of the state who is rarely civil or a servant of the people. Politically correct to the nth degree, usually to the exclusion of common sense and proportion. Protected from the ravages of the commercial world by contracts written by other civil servants, minimal working hours, maximum holidays and generous pensions all at the expense of taxpayers actually working and being productive in the private sector are the norm. Often on sick leave, obstensibly because of "stress", but if actually at work most likely to be having a coffee, emailing friends, and convening pointless meetings where nothing gets decided and actions are not acted on.
Nice work if you can get it, and if you do its a job for life, as no matter how incompetent, lazy or just plain stupid you are, its almost impossible to get fired. Brilliant.

Ask people to word-associate with 'Civil Servant', and you might get things like 'grey suit', 'bowler hat', 'faceless bureaucrat' and 'lazy incompetent boring waste of taxpayers' money'. And that's just from female ex-Prime Ministers.

Get the civil-service mug.A special kind of a person who deals with irreplaceable (in thier own minds) operators, leading hands, engineers, projects managers and clients on the daily. Keeps everyone from life in prison sentences because of thier eccentric ideas that are the engineers/project managers only way to solving the simplest problems to get the project completed on time and normally to some diet of standard.
If that engineer makes the civil supervisor build that to the drawings he has another thing coming. That engineer/project manager is dreaming if he thinks he is going to win this argument with the civil supervisor. Did you hear that engineer tried to tell the surveyor and civil Supervisor what to do... he's in trouble now.
