A manager fired an employee for giving what amounts to a single "donut hole" to a toddler. Total retail worth? 16 cents.
Oh, dear. The workers (all of them!) at the Dunkin’ Donuts by my parents would be in SO much trouble, then. When I go through with Toto, he gets two or three!, which he eats right out of the workers’ hand, through the drive-through window.
IOW, ridonkulous.
Speaking of work, I just got the best kind of promotion ever--the kind where they simply gave a name and a jump in pay grade to the stuff I've already been doing.
Awesome! YAY! Congratulations!
Oh, Nora and Tom, I’m so sorry. Hugs and love to you both.
In my PCP is awesome news (can’t I somehow convince her to not follow her dreams and stay at the clinic where she is now? Oh, that’s selfish, huh? Damn), she called and got me an appointment at the clinic, before the clinic even opened, then called to tell me about it so I “wouldn’t have to call and wait on hold.” She also wanted to see how I was doing. But, isn’t she awesome?
Nora, that's so tough. It would be tough even if you were in the same country, so *this* sucks ass.

I'm glad she got her job back. Craziness firing someone for good customer service.

Exactly! I make sure to take a trip to my parents' Dunkin' Donuts every time I take Toto out there (and often, any other time) because it is such a fun experience for him. He knows where we are, and they just dote on him. They get more money from me because of that. And I kind of thought that was the whole purpose of the donut hole! To keep kids occupied and happy while their parents do the big Sunday Donut Order. But, maybe I'm crazy.
So, it looks like a package got stolen off of my porch, which is so surprising. I'm very frustrated, as it is part of my babysitting charge's birthday present, which we celebrated last week. I told her I'd have the rest this week because it shipped late. So, not only will I not have it for her tomorrow, but I'm probably going to have to pay for it again.
Now I want a donut. Fortunately there's a deli in my building.
ION, I'm seeing Eddie Izzard tonight!!!!
And it's also exactly 15 years (!) since I graduated from college. Of the 4 roommates I had in college, 3 are married and have kids, and the other just won a fucking *Emmy* award. Overachiever.

Woo Hoo! I hope you enjoy the show as much as I did.
Ok. Remember my situation with MassHealth a few weeks ago. It has actually gotten worse. On hold for a supervisor right now. Not-flip-my-lid~ma appreciated.
I swear. These people are incompetent. The guy I just spoke with said, "Well, ma'am it takes 15 days to process that."
My response: "Um, according to my math, April 18 was well over 15 days ago."
"Well, then I don't know why it hasn't been processed."
Well, do you think you might want to look into that? Instead, he transfered me to someone else in a different office because the supervisor in his office wouldn't be able to help me.
"Well, then I don't know why it hasn't been processed."
Oh, for crap's sake.
