I have recently been fortunate enough to be offered a position with the USDA's western regional office. Although it is far from my dream job (I sit in a cubicle and harrass hardworking ranchers and farmers to get them to fill out "needed" reports) it is a perfect fit since they will be very flexible with my schedule allowing me to continue babysitting, volunteering, and working for IDE and they know we are leaving in November so there are no secrets. And come on, we all know that working for "the man" means many paid vacations and lots of annual leave to use up. Anyways, the other day I was sworn in and I promised to uphold the constitution and all that serious stuff. Luckily there is a democrate in the white house. Joke!!!! I just got a kick out of it because it was a very serious affair.....
