Got this in my e-mail this morning:

To all employees:

On behalf of the Labor and Workforce Development Agency, I want to thank each of you for your dedication to public service and for the job that you do. Your day-to-day contributions help California's workers and employers to be successful and it goes a long way to making the Golden State a better place to live.

Public service is a noble calling and we know that it often requires sacrifices. We not only appreciate your commitment to the State of California, but also the sacrifices you continue to make in order to serve the people of California.

Thank you for all that you do!

Vickie

October 4, 2006, as "Thank You State Workers Day"



PROCLAMATION by the Governor of the State of California

Managing the affairs of the eighth-largest economy in the world is no small task. Without the dedicated team of men and women who work for California, our state's progress and prosperity would come to a grinding halt.

Few organizations in the world call upon such a fantastic array of talents to ensure that its goals are met. In California, we rely on state workers who represent almost every field imaginable: law enforcement, medicine, information technology, food services, administrative support, law, engineering, education, science, maintenance, aviation and architecture, just to name a few. Each serves in a different capacity, but all serve the common good of our Golden State.

Today is a special day set aside to honor the tremendous accomplishments of each and every one of our more than 215,000 state workers. No matter the responsibility, they are an integral part of what makes our state the successful and enjoyable place it is to live, work and play. I extend my gratitude for their contributions towards making California the greatest state in the greatest nation in the world.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, Governor of the State of California, do hereby proclaim October 4, 2006, as "Thank You State Workers Day."

IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have here unto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of California to be affixed this 3rd day of October 2006.

What a huge crock of shit. It's the only thing that I got, that wasn't from the union, about what yesterday was and it wasn't sent until eight o'clock last night

I feel more used than appreciated.

It sucks that he'll be re-elected in November, but that's the stupidity of people when they're blinded by celebrity rather than actually using their brains.
