Just when I thought I couldn't be any more bitter...

...I learn that the State of Tennessee has hired 120 lawyers to do nothing. They're making pretty good money (by Tennessee standards) to do crossword puzzles and read magazines while they await a flood of TennCare appeals that does not appear to be manifesting itself.

You know, I had put in applications for work with the state and it took the state six months to get back to me to ask if I was still interested. And the state has a terrible employment website. But hey, I can "train" for appeals with the best of them. I can "look busy" while surfing the net (hell, I indulge in that sometimes right now).
