The city's oldest charitable organization is giving free food to furloughed government workers. So is a local burger joint. And they're collecting cash and gift cards for them in Las Vegas.
Boo hoo. Welcome to the world of freelancing and part-timing. If I got a free burger for every job that was cancelled or postponed, every time I got paid late, every time a job ended early or I didn't get paid as much as I was supposed to I'd be up to my ass in free food. People tell me "you chose that line of work" or "you chose to live in that neighbourhood." Well, didn't these people choose to work for the federal government? I posted on a couple of these "philanthropic" organizations' Facebook and Twitter pages asking "where's my free stuff?" So far no answer.
