Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Joe brought that up in his "exit interview". From what he's said, he really gave them an ear-full, in a calm, collected, intelligent manner. So much so, that his boss was on the verge of tears. He told them they were making amistake because he was one of the best reps they had. Boss said, "You are. You always have been." He looked right at her and said, "Yeah, well it's too bad performance doesn't count, isn't it?"

NICE! Go Joe for not making a scene, yet also not going quietly. Beautifully handled.

He actually brought all of us flowers, but he gave me a big hug and said, "It' sbeen a rough week, and Joe's losing his job is a shit thing to happen. I'm so sorry."

Awwwww! I love your boss right now. We need to find Joe a job with a boss like that.

WOOT!!!

See, this is what I'm talking about. Sometimes things happen for a reason, and I'm hoping like hell that this is one of those times.

Me, too K. Me, too.

And naturally all of this happens right when the effing Communisits invade.

Sigh.

There's a lot to be thankful for:

We're not destitute.

The health insurance is through me, not him.

We have a great big circle of support and love to hold us up.

This is fantastic!

MM's ex-bosses were idiots, if they let someone like him go because he missed three days taking care of his sick kid.

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
