I work on capitol hill as an intern for a congresswoman. Yesterday, she decided she wanted to send out a letter to every member of her party to tell them that they should attend the caucus meeting in order to discuss what to do about 9/11 commission findings.
Lucky for me, I got chosen to format, print, stuff, and deliver these letters. No problem.
After getting the format oked by a staffer, I continued to print off 211 copies of this letter. I then folded them, and stuffed each one into an envelope. And then I was off to delver them...
But first I decided to check the letter with a staffer one last time. The same staffer that oked the format earlier. The man who was making me send this letter. The man who had spent the entire morning reading newspapers and watching sports center while I worked. This man now said their was an extra space between the address and the "Dear Congressman ..." line. One space. One fucking space!! It didn't matter that he had asked for 2 spaces, oked 2 spaces, or that I had already printed off 211 of these letters, put them all into envelopes. This space meant more than that.
I fucking hate that guy.
Luckily for all you tax-paying Americans, I'm unpaid so you only had to pay for 211 sheets of letterhead, not my 6 hours of work.
This shit better look good on a resume.
