https://periodicpilgrim.wordpress.com/2011/03/12/workaholism
8220;For we have no permanent city here…”. March 12, 2011. DC is full of workaholics. Workaholism. Is a dominant cultural undercurrent here. Unpaid overtime seems to be the norm. 35 hours a week is part-time. I’m expected to check my work e-mail everyday (whether I’m working that day or not, whether I’m on the clock or not, whether I have health benefits or not). I hate this. What do workers gain from their toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. Laquo; The joys of being bilingual.

8220;For we have no permanent city here…”. I went on a bike mission around Greensboro. I made my list, mounted my bike and headed out for the afternoon. I also bought two seed packets, one of forget-me-nots and a wild flower mix- two for the price of one.
