sights & smells of the state fair.

Under the terms and conditions of the contracts, Minnesota Management and Budget is required to send layoffs notices to employees on specific dates. To fulfill this contractual requirement, on June 10, 2011 approximately 35,000 state employees who are represented by AFSCME Council 5, the Minnesota Association of Professional Employees, the Middle Management Association, the Minnesota Government Engineers Council, the Minnesota Nurses Associations, and the State Residential Schools Education Association will be notified that they could be laid off July 1, 2011, unless they are directed to report to work to perform critical services during a government shutdown.

Hey. There’s a solid chance I’m going to need a new job in a few weeks. Who’s hiring? (via boomd)

God this sucks. Glad the GOP really took charge with their campaign platform of creating jobs. Oh no wait.

DER - There were GAYS that needed oppressing! Priorities, @Finding-Joy, priorities.

Dear Chicago

It’s 56 right now, and the high is supposed to be 70.

What exactly do you expect me to wear? I hate having to dress for two seasons.

This is among the many curses of being a Chicagoan.  During October and November, it’s in the 40’s when I wake up and leave for work and so obviously I wear a coat, and by the time I leave in the afternoon, it’s in the 60’s and I feel like a coat-wearing fool. 

Ditto in Minneapolis. It’s like I’m back in elementary school. I wear my cute fall coat in the morning, but forget it at the office at night.

Today’s weather: 66° and … snowmen???
