Difficult day. Discovered that my name, position title and salary are available for public viewing along with every other person who works for a public or government entity. Sigh. I miss the days when we did not have the internet - and this information wasn't so readily available.
The internet feels at times like a violation of one's privacy. What I like most about lj - is I can post under a psuedonyme and remain largely anonymous. But coworkers were quite upset. One manager threw a hissy fit and printed off the entire list of salaries - because it bugged him big time that a guy selling tickets was making over $100,000 a year. (Most of it in overtime.) And is suffice it to say more than the Director and well the rest of us are making. The joke is - if you are working hard you don't make that much. It's all relative. I'm personally just grateful to have a job. Having been without a job a good portion of my life - it's very nice to have one, particularly one that is not boring and challenges me. I really don't think I'd enjoy selling tickets for a living - no matter how much they paid me.

Here's a really good meta on The Good Wife - which more or less explains why I believe this is the best new show this year. It is amongst the few that deals hands on with what it is like to be a woman in a man's world - and how politics and power play a role in our every day life. It explores politics in a way that The West Wing was never quite brave enough to delve into.
And yes, everyone should watch it. It's being re-runned on CBS at the same time slot - 10 pm Tuesdays, last I checked. Not hard to get into.

Tired. Really tired. So off to bed.

It's not a violation, it's an abolition & we more or less incorporated it into our lives like we do most things, only minimally anticipating the worst.

Very interesting about 'The Good Wife', which I'll have to Netflix when it becomes available.
