Where is msbelle? She's always so good at finding topics for cheering-up posts, like "anywhere but here", or "the best gift", or "inside the reality of which book or movie would you choose to be right now", only, you know, better.
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It was just because of what I said.
That's just plain weird. Why was what you said a firing offense?

My suckiness was over the weekend. So far Tuesday is going okay.
See, you had ALL the suck and now it has dispersed to several people. I think this approach is better. Share the suck.

shrift! You've also been in my thoughts a lot lately. How is your father doing?
Hi, Nilly! My father's doing fine. He recently bought a new camper, so I am hoping this will encourage him to work less and vacation more. (Although I'm hardly one to talk, but also not the one with a heart condition.)
Tuesday isn't being especially terrible, I suppose. It's just that I'm grumpy and sleep-deprived, and less tolerant of being needle-in-a-haystack-go-to-girl than usual, and -- wait a minute.
Clearly Tuesday is really Monday wearing a cunning disguise.

Well, on a "legal acrimony between the two firms" level she may not be ABLE to have two weeks notice and a smooth transition because the former partners may end up suing each other.
On an an individual level, she probably feels "betrayed" by my lack of "loyalty" to her and her vision for what her grand new firm can be. (Why she thinks I should be "flexible" about something that will benefit me IN NO WAY is something only crazy, self-absorbed, spoiled, rich people can understand.)
It's possible she "had" to fire me, but she didn't need to be a cunt about it.

Holy crap, Trudy! Can you at least enjoy the righteousness of your anger? Cause that was just entirely, ridiculously, inexcusable WRONG of the firing person. Holy... oh, I already said that, didn't I? Holy Hannah!

If I only had a brain...
My Tuesday sucks royally; I'm cleaning up before leaving my job, and I'm sad about losing my class ring.

Even so, there had to be a more pleasant way to do this.
Betsy, I was sorry to read about the robbery you had (though I was relieved that neither you nor any of your family members were in any kind of danger).

Thanks, Nilly, and thanks to all the Buffistas for the sympathy.
It is good that nobody was hurt.
