The President's Budget or the Ambassador

It is Monday, and it is snowing. Strike number one. The shrub on the city land by the building was finally cut, but very poorly, and only one of the hot water heaters is working. Strike number two. Posted in the hallway were signs highlighting an opportunity to attend a session on the President's Budget or one on the New Ambassador for Young People's Literature. Strike number three for some folks regarding the budget but a great opportunity for others who love reading. Technically I could not attend the session on the budget- that is typically reserved for Congressional Research Service types and other congressional staff, but the other one is open to the public. I was again reminded during my walk this afternoon that I am working in a building that hosts a variety of interesting and one of a kind events. So, the snow, the shrubs, and the hot water heater are certainly and do remain my priorities, but they are definitely not of any significance for a lot of other people around me. Or maybe they are?
Wonder what he'll be doing?

Good luck

  1. A roll over budget is exactly that: this past year’s budget is rolled into the 2012-13 budget, except where new retirement, benefit and other rates have changed, Rozanski said.
