150 Vacation Days

I want a job where I get 150 vacation days per year. 

Crazy?

Well, apparently not so crazy if you are a member of Congress. Next year the House of Representatives will be in session 111 days. That means they will be off 150 weekdays. This was reported in by the Washington Post in an article titled, Time to Ground Congress.

And they think that federal employees who work for the Executive Branch are overpaid because we have to work every weekday except for holidays.  

Welcome to the land of reactionary legislation. Nothing is going to get accomplished unless it is a crisis 

I want a job like that. That have reversed the workweek. They work two days and have five day weekends. Sign me up. 

Something has to change. There is an election coming. Don't forget.
