As a reporter who once covered federal agencies, I have dozens of
stories for FatCratz. I'm so glad you started the site.
My girlfriend Jane Doe was a reporter for Radio & Records and she had to
pick up reports from XYZ every day. And on many occasions,
she would have to wait. On one day, the woman who gave her the report
was right there, watching her "stories" on a television in her
cubicle. Jane asked her to hand the file to her and the bureaucrat
told her she'd have to wait until her stories were over.

I wonder if anyone knows how many TV sets are in government offices across this fair land, and how many of them are being used for official business.
I know that in my last office my TV/VCR combo unit was hauled away one day be replaced by an LCD unit with a DVD player built in. No reason was given. Then a few months later that LCD/DVD was replaced by another, at which time I learned that the point of the whole upgrade had been to prepare for the transition to digital broadcast. This I only learned because the first LCD/DVD upgrade hadn't in fact been digital ready.
So how about it. Does your government workspace have a TV? What do you watch?
