What does a furloughed employee do?
Being a nonessential employee (shocking, an intern is not considered essential) has some benefits. In my case, that exclusively includes free time for independent studying and reading, as well as the MLB postseason. Today a group of fellow distraught nonessential employees gathered for a day of baseball. We were treated to three INCREDIBLE games. After the late, dramatic conclusion of the Dodger game (and Braves’ season), I began Bill Simmons’ “The Book of Basketball.” Now I’m only 50 pages in, understand I recommend a lot of reading (yesterday’s was 19th century French political philosopher Frederic Bastiat’s timeless essays “The Law,” “A Petition,” “What Is Seen and What is Unseen,” and “The State”) and it comes in at a whopping 750, but I can tell that this will be an enjoyable one. Check it out; if you can’t tell, I cannot wait for the NBA season.
