I’ve chosen to not turn my computer on until very late in the day this week. I have dust bunnies to sweep up and walls to scrub, and it’s too easy to get ensnared for too long in the interwebs. I may have tricked convinced my kids into thinking they rarely missed school because a little dust built up their immune systems, but the guy from the foster parent agency may not see things that way. The house is looking clean and shiny! This is a welcome change.
I became aware of a not so lovely change today, however, when I popped into the office for a visit on my way to Wal-Mart. For the second time since we’ve moved into this building, our lovely office space is being downsized again! Last time I got a bigger office, with even more window space. This new configuration is giving me an interior area, with no windows, no doors, and not much privacy. Like the rest of the world in this downsized economy, I am feeling the results of the havoc wreaked by greedy CEOs and inept politicians. Lucky for me, though, I will still be working at a job I enjoy with people that I like. And it’s only two months a year. I was a tad spoiled.
I would feel a lot better about the whole thing, however, if we could force the jerks on Capitol Hill to give up their plush offices and fancy cars paid for by us, the poor downsized taxpayers. It only seems fair!
