New job starts in a week, and I have heard that state jobs are all about the brown nosers. So give me pointers on this secret art!

don't be a brown noser....just be pleasant/personable and work your a$$ off.

Accomplishes the same thing except you can live with yourself. ;)

Its easy. First just start out with observing things. Keep it low key. Figure out how the place works, who hates who, notice what people talk about in the break room. Then when your ready just smile a lot and agree with everyone, though not in front of everyone. Compliment people on what they seem the most concerned about (bosses always looking in the mirro? stressed about assignment X) and your money baby, money......ugh now I remeber why I got out of the whole office thing.

Runs to get a tissue to wipe nose.

First, run out and buy some knee pads. They are the essential first step if you plan on incorporating brown-nosing into your career.

Make sure your head is aimed at the correct end, the posterior.

Otherwise you'll get a mouthful of [DELETED] or [DELETED].

judging by the stink of your breath and the shlt in your mustache I'd have to say that you are already a brown noser.
just don't change.

working for the state doesn't mean you have to degrade yourself. Just work hard (or look like it) and be assertive during meetings.
