friday random ten eleven – “sore, ass and elsewhere” edition
Hrm. It took me nearly five hours to get home from the office this particular Friday afternoon. All told, an appropriate capper for a pretty crappy week. The usual unhappy stuff, plus the whole last minute delay of the furlough notices, a move that was sold as a welcome respite, but really just served to ratchet up the tension even further for most of us. Would’ve been nicer just to give ’em to us to just get it all over with. We’ve all accepted the fact it’s going to happen, at least for a while. We’ve been adjusting our financial situations to ride out the storm, and the current bills in congress aren’t going to change the circumstances in any meaningful way – might as well just pull the bandage off, we’ve all been bracing for it for weeks now.
If I got anything out of this week, it’s perhaps a little bit of clarity. I think I’ve got a plan developing for going forward. It’s not the plan I would have liked, but then again, circumstances aren’t exactly as I’d like them to be, either.
We adapt, or we try to, anyway. Oh, and my lovely wife is out buying beer right now. That helps too.
