Go home, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, you\u2019re drunk. (@USCPSC<\/a>)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

*Which is to say, exactly the right amount of fun<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a former state employee, I can confirm any suspicions you might have that working for the government, even as a creative, isn\u2019t the most creatively inspiring job. The work tends to be fairly workaday, and one often finds oneself making one\u2019s own fun. Depending on the actual state organization, of course, the amount of available fun does vary (says the woman who worked for a state university and health system that does its best but really does have to keep levity to a reasonable level). But the social media teams behind these five Twitter accounts clearly have been cut loose to have a good time, and to share it with followers to offer more than the standard sewer system status update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, you heard me. The sewer system. Of course, arguably, if you\u2019re doing social media for a sewer system, you\u2019re going to have to inject some level of fun just from a survival perspective, but these folks clearly have a good time. It\u2019s a great blend of humor, history, useful information, and unexpectedly heartfelt messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, you know I\u2019m a sucker for the snark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
