I once had a bumper sticker that had the Hawaiian workday calendar on it and as yesterday went on into hour 19, I began to think about how often Legislative time reflects Hawaiian time
The following is my day (in a nutshell) for the 110th day of the 2005 Legislative session:
The day began at 7am and ended at 4am (door to door)
2 hours were spent in the car
19 hours were spent in Carson City
Out of those 19 hours
8 hours (approx. 5 per house) were spent in floor sessions
3 hours spent in committee hearings
Approx. 8 hours spent waiting for committee meetings and floor sessions to begin while legislators caucuses and and various lobbyists tried one last time to grab legislators' support.
We ran two hours behind on Friday. Not because there was too much work to complete, but because nothing ever begins on time in this building and well...it is politics after all.

Uh...5 plus 5 is 10. Where's the math teacher when you need her?
Oh Bryna....
OOPS! One little math error, it still is a lot of hours
Yes, I know that but some of these meetings do overlap!
