At least, that's what I tell myself when I go to bed each night and decide to watch Friends instead of the news.<br /><br />I really hope things start to get better soon.chocolate and whinehttp://www.chocolateandwhine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6199588587584209316.post-34575498160628448252010-01-10T20:43:17.579-06:002010-01-10T20:43:17.579-06:00Greenie - I was never ashamed to be an Illinoisan ...Greenie - I was never ashamed to be an Illinoisan before...now I hope my plan to go back to school comes together VERY quickly!<br /><br />Pissy - I work in a department that focuses on state government so I get the extra-special treat of hearing about this stuff on a daily, if not hourly, basis. ARGH!!<br /><br />Matt - Snow days are a better excuse for unpaid days off than an idiot legislature and state government! Hope you’re back to work this week. Love your blog – I have such admiration for people who are consistently clever and funny. <br /><br />GfG - I’m glad I found you – I don’t often comment but your posts always make me think and often bring me a bit closer to God. <br /><br />Lizzy - You find the horse, I can probably find a messenger.

But, I do work at a Community College, and our payments from the State have been delayed to the point where it's really causing a budget crunch for us. <br /><br />I think we DO need Vito Corleone to send a horse's head to someone over there in Springfield! :-)Dizzy Ms. Lizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06089738977432199662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6199588587584209316.post-23921433717485755332010-01-08T23:00:21.632-06:002010-01-08T23:00:21.632-06:00Oh, you made me snort laugh.
