Just talked to my cousin. She sounds good. She's a little miffed about how things went but it turned out that she did have a hole in her uterus that would have caused problems anyway (her second kid was VBAC and she was hoping to do the same with this one). The baby is just on a little oxygen and she did NOT have to have a hysterectomy--they wanted to do one but she was not in any condition to sign the forms so they repaired the damage and she's recovering.
She said the SECOND time she went into the hospital that they did a test that revealed a UTI. They said THAT was what was causing her contractions (no manual check). But she ended up going back a THIRD time when the contractions got so bad she couldn't stand it. She was there a whole HOUR before someone checked her and at that point she was 8 centimeters dilated--the nurse on duty acted SHOCKED that she was that far along.
Feh. This is her third kid. And her second premature delivery. It's not like she was overreacting or didn't know what she was doing.
But the important thing is that EVERYONE is ok. She'll be fine (better once she can get to see her daughter) and the baby is strong and doing well.
Stephanie, I'm glad Joe made it to the ground safely. It's perfectly reasonable to worry about someone jumping out of an airplane!
vw, FEH to your doffus tutees. The don't deserve your help. But YAY on the C on the bio exam!
I think that there should be a nobonusforhecsboss.org and Cash -- I'm so glad that your cousin and the new little one are okay.
(Our transit worker's union is threatening to strike. If they do....ugh. It will Not Be Pretty.)
I was caught in a slow-down getting home yesterday. Ugh. I am dreading this more than a little.
Hec, your boss is an idiot.
t /my turn to be stating the obvious girl
Hec, I hate her hate her hate her. Please, somewhere in the shitloads of overtime that you'll no doubt be plowing through tonight, please touch up your resumé. That's all the Christmas present I ask.

Oh JZ, for a minute, I thought I was checking my e-mail to Scott.
Hec, may you get some relief at work.
Hey - i thought that was my email to Matt....
Cindy, I think you and beth and I need to work out some kind of three-way Strangers On A Train offing-each-other's-spouses-EEEEVIL-bosses deal. As long as we remember to come back here and delete all the relevant posts afterwards, it'll be perfect.
eta: BAHAHAHA! Best x-post ever!
Is it only me that sends my DH job postings?
Dear Various and Sundry Bosshats,
What the bleeding hell is wrong with you bloody bosses? Why do you bitches torture our bitches...er...husbands. They're ours. They came to us. Or something. Anyhow, and to sum? Lay off. What goes around comes around. Like butter scraped over too much bread. There's not enough time; there's not enough time. It's a long road that knows no turning. It's a long way to Tipperary. Don't let the sun go down on me. Walk through the fire and let it burn. It's Istanbul not Constantinople, and little lambs eat ivy.
We mean it.
JZ, beth, and Cindy.
