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.

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

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."
