Nope, I haven't left yet. I've underestimated my addiction to AW. But with vacation on the short horizon, I'll be gone soon.
Anyway, Friday, I was at a small book release celebration for an old friend of mine (from college). His actual release party is the day we leave so we had a little pre-release party with six close friends. It's a great book about Breweries of the Past. Did you know that the first brewery in North America was built in 1583? I didn't.
So, anyway, anyway, there were six of us partying together. And suddenly, I had a relevation. 5 out of the 6 of us worked as contractors to do the work the government employees were hired to do.. To be clear, we do the work the public employees are paid to do, but they simply call us to do it. Nasa computer programming, Government Accounting, Wastewater Collection and Treatment Repair, etc. The 6th person actually worked for the government, and in fairness, they actually do their job, they don't have contractors to do it for them.
No wonder taxes are so high. Gads.
