The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
But oh, they're going to find their associates spots with other Wal-Marts in the region. Whatever. It's more like "We'll give you a $7/hour job in west Texas, take it or leave it."
Well, not having to job hunt isn't nothing. Not extending benefits is shitty though Jeeze. It's not like they can really cover their COBRA at the moment.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Not to mention, they sent out three trucks of water early on (which FEMA refused, naturally).
FEMA. I understand (but don't excuse) how the top management can be so screwed up by political appointees, but I don't understand all the stories about FEMA officials who were in the city turning away help and supplies. Is it misguided idealism to think that career emergency management people might think and act on their own based on the conditions around them?

Oh dear, shirtless Harry Connick Jr. evacuating an elderly neighbor should NOT be making me tingly. I'm evil. Evil. But Godalmignty is he pumped.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Then there was the story of FEMA disconnecting communications cables....
I swear, FEMA must be run by Cylons.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
me, not giving stuff away, but I am offering housing.
Seriously? That's weird. Someone in your neighborhood had posted both sewing stuff and some merch from a place you used to work.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Are you parents heading to your place to stay for a while, now?
Hard to say. My dad will probably stay in Baton Rouge, because UNO has an operation up and running there. Whether my mother comes to stay here for a while will probably depend on what the housing situation is there. Right now, they're still in a hotel.

Jefferson Parish, I think? The Sheriff went and reconnected them and then stationed armed guards. They were talking about it on Meet the Press on Sunday.
