There are four reporters, including me.
Two were working in Lucedale and one was on furlough. I was the lone ranger in the office.
It was a stressful day.
I'm realizing something I knew all along but didn't want to think about. The true frustration in a furlough isn't the lost income--it's all those days of working short-staffed when your staff is already the size of a midget's pinky finger.
In about two weeks I'll be combining a furlough day with an already-scheduled day off for an awesome four-day weekend. That'll help me hold out for my first actual vacation of the year in June...if I can make it until then...
