Smitten billytea is pretty adorable.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Cass!! I have a question for you. You like Indy Car, right?

I'm contemplating calling in sick on Thurs-Friday next week so they can't fire me in March, and then my benefits would extend for the whole month of April without Cobra payments.
The only problem is that they have to process the term ahead of time, so it could lead to me showing up on Monday and being told I was fired on Friday but I just didn't know it.
Usually I'm not into stunts and would rather maintain my dignity, but it is worth a couple hundred dollars. And they are being skeezy.

Trust my rage
Well, worst case is that you got two days off and didn't yet know about the firing, right? I mean, those are two days you get to use sick leave and not work.
eta: also, it sucks so much that you have this hanging over you. I'm so sorry.

Cass!! I have a question for you. You like Indy Car, right?Yes! And I managed to get cable before the season opener even! Um, upon reflection, I might be a little *too* into racing.

I don't think they can do that. I say call in sick.

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

Do it, Hec. Like Steph says, worst case scenario they're on the hook for a couple of more days of sick time.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
In the continuing events on the Life of the Pathetically Tired, I apparently have a boy. A boy who likes me. A very, very cute and endearing boy that is ridiculously charming and will likely be impossible to say no to.
I want to say "why me?" but I am so terribly flattered that I can't seem to do anything other than vacillate between "so cute!" and "I am so wrong for you!"
