Still not the strangest thing to happen in HOB elevators @HeardInTheHOB
You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me. Circa MILeg 2020 @HeardInTheHOB
lol we just never did this last year we’re sorry y’all

no better way to start the day
“I worked harder getting my boss a room on Mackinac than I did getting Eras tickets”
Hey HOBbits: a reminder that you should keep an email folder for when people send you nice/happy/affirming things. These jobs are hard! Plus then you’ll have something to look through when your boss who “didn’t want to go to Mackinac” suddenly “needs a room on the island” today
That’s obviously Cora Anderson
That scene in Catching Fire where Peeta puts down the speech cards and Effie gasps and says “why do I bother” is so staffer-coded it’s disgusting
run it back
session is must watch television
watching session go late from the comforts of home
If we were holding a costume contest, this would be awarded the scariest

the reason there is scaffolding in the capitol right now is it is considered a best practice to change around legislators surroundings and habitat regularly for enrichment purposes

The best part about working the budget is if you want to take a cry break in the bathroom at the Capitol, you still get to listen to the speeches overhead. You won’t ever miss a thing. 👍
