Good morning!
Are you feeling fired up?
Are you feeling ACCOMPLISHED?
Good, because we need more of that around here. We all know, according to the “Doggie” group that Americans, particularly government civilian workers, are just lazy and get nothing done. You know, the same people who only take 2 weeks (a fortnight, 14 days) off a year for vacation. So lazy. /sarcasm
In fact, since they don’t get much done, the Doggie group led by the pet Muskrat, sent out an email on Saturday, Feb. 22nd 2025, to all the governmental workers (after they’d gone home for the weekend), that they had to provide the Doggies with a list of 5 accomplishments they’d done that week.

In the image:

Well, come on, folks! Get on that and prove your worth to the Doggies. Show them you’ll get them snacks and walkies and take them to the bark park.
Heh, so I did what they said. I provided HR@OPM.gov (you can, too) a list of my five accomplishments
I even posted it on social media:
Dear DOGE,
5 things I accomplished this last week:
- 📔 Published a new FF novella
- 💪🏻 1 workout (staring a new cycle)
- ✏️ Wrote two blog posts (one on Black History Month)
- 🍰 Made gluten-free Tiramisu
- 🚶♀️ went for a mile and a half walk
Signed,
Siobhan Muir
I suggest anyone who sees the email address: HR@OPM.gov
send them your list. Send them the laundry you did, or the toilet you cleaned, or the groceries you bought.
In fact, here’s my newest list:
- Put together a newsletter (this is a big deal for me)
- Wrote FOUR blog posts (including this one)
- Edited an upcoming novel
- Called my governor to ask him to veto a bill requiring governmental rape of pregnant women (unnecessary intravaginal ultrasounds using a wand to find out if she’s pregnant)
- Filled up the birdfeeders in my yard
There. You can make up your own lists. In fact, I highly recommend you flood that email address with lists. Apparently, according to Stephen Colbert, the governmental workers have been sending all the porns they watched for the week just so the Doggie group has to get an education.
Time to make it harder to be fascist. #resist #BeTheHero
