Quoted: I've always felt that the President does his job 24 hours a day. Nothing gets done in Washington in August anyway because nobody is there.

I'M HERE!!
I do Congress related work. I am in my office 9 to 5 every day, 5 days a week. Even when Congress is IN, I often feel like I'm the only one with a full time job. Call the average Congressional scheduler on a monday or friday. IF they come in at all, it's an act of GOD to get them there before noon, and that's when Congress is IN session. You can imagine what's it's like now. Same goes for the legislative staff half the time.
Granted, when Congress is in, they can have some late nights...but that's due mainly to the fact that the House Schedule is now basically Tues 6:00pm to Thurusday pm sometime. If it's not right before a district work period, most of the guys blow out of town around 2:00 on Thursday...you do NOT want to be between them and the exits at that time lol.
In the old days, you had 3 full days to do business...now it's down to 1 1/2...all day Wednesday, and half of Thursday....that's it.
Oh well, at least I have plenty of time to up my post count hehe.
