So, at work this afternoon, a higher-up called me over to talk and started out with, "I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go." Pause, then smile. "Not really." I think he thought he was being funny. I was too stunned at the time to react, but now I'm feeling the slow burn building. Not a joking matter!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Jesse, it's Xpress Spa in McCarren. It's a pretty full service chain. All airports should be required to have them.

dcp, that is so not funny! Especially in this horrific economy--but really in ANY situation, uncalled for and I'd call HR on his ass.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
My apologies to everyone. The bad mood is much more under control now. Sometimes the kids' bedtime routine can be good for soothing me too.
Speaking of? Allyson's dolly story is very sweet.

DH just bought me some personal liability insurance to cover my blogging and writing activities. He said I'm covered in case of libel and slander to the tune of 1.5 mil.
Not that any of you should get any ideas.

Burrell, I'm sorry that I was pushing buttons -- especially if you were already dealing with back pain and a bad day. In my head I was just free-associating/bullshitting (as usual), not disagreeing with you, and I'm sorry that I didn't make that clearer.
Turns out text is tricky sometimes. The more you know!
