My apologies, Whirlwind. This was supposed to be a fun thread that I've turned into a self pity-driven martyrdom tirade. I'll stop that line of thought, if you wish.

You do have some good points. My particular employment situation (for a local governmental entity) is quite different than working for larger governments, I guess. I've still got guys working for less than $20K after eight years of service (at an …

Oh, no! Surely not! x;-) Actually, I personally believe that you have to be somewhat less than bright to even consider a job in Washington (whether it's in or for the government or not!). Would any sane person deliberately do something for which…

Why? It's obvious from the list above that that would be as much of a waste as giving them copies of the Constitution. I think we should give them all a direct one-button link to the nearest travel agent.

A "double-header" weekend will always getcha! I'm seriously looking forward to the cold weather games - did one too many of those mid-day, 100-degree games, apparently. I always say you can only take off so many clothes, but you can always put mor…

Not that anyone really wants an analytical view on this topic, right? But, I've had lots of tailgate time to observe... For all but a few women, going to a football game (collegiate or professional) is a special, social occassion, like going out o…

Man, I was really getting drawn into this. I was thinking it was some alternative holistic approach to team building. Then I realized it was supposed to be just Gene all by himself. I literally had a momentary picture of a guy in a loin cloth sit…

I agree. And I can also imagine the criticism if they HAD acted and responded *appropriately* and then the hurricane passed by LA/MS/AL without doing all the damage. I'm thinking we'd hear "What a waste of time and money - why bother with evacua…

I think it is the shock of the new home, mostly. Their former owners had the litterbox by the back door, and they associate the doors with that activity. Once I figured that out (only after accident #2), I moved the litterbox and intend to gradual…

Thanks, I'm sure we will. Got an eight-week-old brother and sister pair (Ajax and Artemis), so we're hoping they can help each other through the transition period. They're supposed to be litterbox trained and fully weaned. Hope it's just new home…

Just got two kitties this weekend after waiting 12 years (landlords wouldn't allow pets, so we finally bought a house and now have pets!). We made the cat choice based not only on emotional need, but with financial considerations in mind. Cats, ho…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-31-05 AT 04:03PM (CST)[/font][br][br]I've changed my driving habits, too. I've got a 5 mile round trip to work. I've stopped driving home for lunch and now bring it with me. I'll also make due and …

I read through the first major bullet point and decided to print it out and forward a copy to my boss. This article, even though it initally p*ss*d me off, actually expresses the worst frustrations I deal with regularly, and I'm hoping the boss see…

We did the week-long Nielson thing last month. Hubby got a 60" flat screen for our new house, and we'd been watching it irregularly since the April move-in. Then he goes & volunteers to be a "Nielson family!" Not counting the hours we had it …

Don't think pot doesn't cause hangovers; I've "seen" it first-hand. Anything done excessively leaves toxins in the system that can induce a hangover or other lingering effects. Back in college, I switched to alcohol to escape the marijuana hangove…

This makes me think of another joke I heard recently, something about God put Man to work(ing the earth), and Satan made Bosses. Abby

Be glad you all aren't part of the Federal government system... Limited English Proficiency regs are trickling down to local governments, and it's affecting more than our employees (see [url]http://www.lep.gov/[/url] ). Dubya's Executive Order (131…

After having viewed most of the film, I have to agree with Don. This wasn't published *by* HR, it came from public relations. Also, it may just have been the website from which I viewed it, but the quality wasn't such that they were watching X-rated…
