Interesting article
The weekend is going well so far, and made all the better because I have a surprise day off tomorrow. It's a surprise because I work with one colleague, and we cover for each other, which means if he takes time off I'm supposed to be there, and vice versa. I thought he was taking tomorrow off, and so I'd planned to come in. Fortunately we clarified this on Friday. I would've felt like a real doofus if we'd both come in Monday, especially since there will be nothing to do -- it'll be slower than six bunched-up Metrobuses rolling up 16th Street at evening rush hour.
Anyway, that's not the point of this post. I wanted to call attention to a great article in today's Washington Post. If you're a fan of Tom Wolfe (author of "Bonfire of the Vanities," among others) this is an interesting look at his early years as a writer on the Post's Metro Desk. Despite the inherent mundaneness of the job, he managed to slip his wit into everyday articles with phrases like "Zeroes in a budget stretched on 'like so many eggs in a hatchery.'" So, here's the article.
