It’s the last two weeks of recess. Have you checked everything off your recess bucket list?
Better start working if you haven’t…
- Put off every conceivable task that you could until next week
- Taken a three-hour lunch at Bullfeathers
- Taken a much more harried three-hour lunch, off the hill (“sure, I can come downtown!”)
- Locked the intern in the cage
- Held a rolling chair race in the hallway
- Grown your “recess facial hair”
- Gotten a mani/pedi at Tammy’s
- Been on a Capitol tour, for you, by you
- Stared longingly at job posts
- Played a poker game in the Member’s office
- Toed the line of your office’s dress policy with an outfit that’s questionable even for recess
- Wore flip flops to work
- Bragged about wearing flip flops to work
- Left at 3:30 on a Tuesday to go to the bar
- Gotten in at 10 30 am on a Wednesday, hungover
- Drawn straws to see who has to clean out the mini-fridge
- Planned your upcoming vacation, which, let’s be honest, you won’t take until next August
