"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Some practical stuff, ita.

You can apply for unemployment a week after your last day. You can do it online.

I'm going to figure you were making more than me on this job than I was on my last one, so you'll be at the top of the unemployment scale.

That's worth $900 every two weeks for six months. Just something to factor in while you're looking at your finances.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm sorry, ita. I hope the job hunting process is quick and productive.

Not hugging ita, but damn. That sucks. And only two weeks severance? Shit. I hope the recruiter finds you something amazing superquick!!

I'm kinda worried about my own job--the company is in trouble, and last night at a party, the wife of one of the doctors was telling me about how he was looking for a new job!! That can't be a good sign, dude.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Damn, ita. You've gotta have some really awsome karma coming to you soon.

Today I was asked to provide a written record of an "incident" that could jeopardize a co-worker's job (I found a pot stash in the bathroom). I'd kinda rather not.

Well, shit. Is this going to be another round of kick the Buffista for this month? Damn well tired of that shit.

Good luck with the job search, ita. I hope you find a better paying job closer to home.
