Always Anti-fascist!

It's not you, Jesse. I've been lost for fifty gorram(is that right?) posts. Which is my long way of posting ?!

Ah, you meant Lays, not lays.

Also, I just like noodles.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

?!

What I'm saying.

I had a cat named Noodle. She was a princessy little bitch. We liked her.

Grunting, belching, farting, chewing -- these are not work sorts of noises

I laugh because I can hear my officemate's tummy grumble. That is something you have no control over.

You know what? I have this horrible suspicion that it will be him or me in layoffs. Gonna SUCK.

What is even happening?

Harumph. People who begin their names with lower-case letters, dissing my capitalization skills.

Noodling (catching fish with your hands) becomes legal in Georgia tomorrow.

I have to ask...there was more than one person in a position of legislative authority that wanted to do this? Why?

Apparently there was a strong pro-noodling lobby. Until they passed the law, I had assumed that if a fish wandered into your hands, it was fair game. Not that I've ever noodled myself.

Ugh. Would there be decent severage, anyway?

He'll get it. I won't. See, I'm a subcontractor. My company does it differently. We don't get severance, but we do get 2 weeks notice (as opposed to 2 days with limited account access) and supposedly the company actually tries to place us elsewhere. Not sure if we get paid in the placement period. I think there is some interval in which we don't, but still have benefits and all that. Not sure. Well, if I have to find out, I will.

Oof. Good luck.

And, of course, remember that sometimes Change Is Good.

I hope you don't have to find out, unless you want to, sara.
