Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics:

- 29 have been accused of spousal abuse
- 7 have been arrested for fraud
- 19 have been accused of writing bad checks
- 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
- 3 have done time for assault
- 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
- 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
- 8 have been arrested for shoplifting
- 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
- 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

Can you guess which organization this is?

Give up yet?

It’s the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

I hate being sick

I’m nearing that magical point where my monthly treatments don’t knock me on my ass. It’s pretty great, really. I’ve been awaiting this “moment of tolerance” for quite some time now.

Basically when I have my treatments they tend to KO me for the weekend. Just fatigue and pain to the Nth…but then by Monday I usually feel a lot better and have some pretty decent energy levels.

So this past Friday I get my treatment and I’m not feeling too bad. Saturday morning rolls around and I’m doing better than I usually do…so I’m thinking, “Great, maybe I’m turning that corner…”

Sunday morning…afternoon more like it, I get slammed by something. I didn’t wake up until noon, and by then I was a sick and crusty mess.

Rhyno had something last week. I’m wondering if I picked it up from him. JO and the boys seem to be as-of-yet unaffected…which is good. School starts for Ben tomorrow and JO starts in earnest tomorrow as well.

I dunno…sort of feels like a cosmic bitchslap. “You think you’re feelin’ better, punk? Hells no!”

Pretty damn lame if you as me. And on a holiday weekend.

I’m going home early. Can’t get shit done today, anyway.
