the State

Working for the State Government has gotten stressful. My job is not hard, it is not usually stressful, I love what I do. My problem is that the powers-that-be (literally) are chest thumping and peacocking around with the budget. Without a budget passed, approved, and signed - the government will shut down on June 30 at 11:59pm. This is not a good prospect if the State of Arizona signs your paycheck - Because you will not be getting one! In addition, we are getting wage cuts and the Governor wants to raise taxes. This is a double and for some - a triple hit! It is frustrating and irritating that our legislators will play with our emotions and our livelihoods. They are toying with our safety and security for the sake of politicking. It is deplorable and dispicable!
