One more day waiting for the elephant to expose its presence by dropping a load. The day started with treats and a whimsically worded sign "Going Out of Business Party" set up by some wag at the office, possibly myself. Got a big laugh out of everyone. I understand the DOT gang hosted a "Last Supper" potluck. Man I love how we rise or perhaps fall with adversity. Sure beats P'ing & M'ing.
A few more clusters and rumors but hardly any hand wringing observed. Everyone is too busy. Rather like getting ready for vacation and trying to get what is totally essential completed before the proverbial ax falls.
Asked the boy what I would do in my lay off status. He mentioned a porch needing painting and someone to tote that bale and lift that barge to create the patio extension I have been wanting. Momentarily at a loss to think "I must work" in my layoff status - which of course as a State worker I am so unaccustomed. I quickly pointed out that although the labor is cheap, there is little capital available for materials. Whew-dodged that bullet.
Perhaps we should go back to the Silver Lake region to ride the wild sandy buggies. That one sublime moment when we plunge over the hill at 30 mind blowing miles per hour with hands raised, screaming our guts out sounds like a definite cure for something. As a fitting punishment I propose strapping our clueless legislators to the back bumper and letting them feel the grainy soil on their backsides until they agree that fighting like kids in a sandbox can really be painful! As Captain Picard would say "Make it so Ensign".
