Measure not the work until the day's out and the labor done. -Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Only 9 working days until another day off! I love working for the government!

Being back at work today is kind of sucky. I've been here an hour, and I'm quite ready to go home.

Don't get me wrong, I find much more satisfaction in my job than most other people my age, but I do like those days off and not have any problem going home right now.

So what is it that you do exactly for the government that is non-profit?

I agree, whoever came up with the schedule of work 5 days so you can live 2 days was not quite thinking straight.

I should aslo not complain as my company treats us very well.

I work in ecomnomic assistancce and work supports read: welfare. I work for Hennepin COunty.

Basically I interview people to determine their eligibility for public assistance. And process. I do a lot of processing.

But, I have a window and I get to stream music off the internet.

I forgot about Martin Luther King Jr. Day! Woohoo for holidays! Sure I don't get paid for it, but seeing as how I'm quitting at the end of the month, I really don't care anymore.

24 days, 7 hours, and 38 minutes left!

dawnmarie said...

Brian, are you drunk? because I know you don't work in social services.

Brianinmpls said...

Yes, well just buzzed:) I do process things though so that has to count a little right?

dawnmarie said...

I wish I could be buzzed at work.

I've gotta say, next week with five whole workdays is going to be a little tough. I'm thinking about taking a day off.

I was so ridiculously bored last week that I am happy to be back at work. This is why I still had three weeks of vacation to use on December 1.

Rachel said...

I think a buzz would make my job much more enjoyable.

The count down....
It leaves me flush with memories of I can't wait for this class to be over.

dawnmarie said...

hee. what can I say. I like countdowns.

Rocketstar said...

Countdown's..

Have you ever seen Kieth Olberman's "Countdown" on MSNBC at night?

Pretty good backroud TV "noise" while on line and not listening to music.

dawnmarie said...

I don't have cable. So nope! I rarely watch TV, unless it's a baseball game, a hockey game, or the occasional college football game. But that only if Nick calls me and says, "You should watch this game."

I almost always have music going in the background.

Rachel said...
