I want one of those SO HARD.

Sorry Joe and Aimee.

I'm kind of glad they didn't try to put fingers on him with peace signs like the illustrations. The way it pops out he just looks like he's wanting a hug.

Good luck at the unemployment office Joe. It looks like you can file online [link] in Michigan, too.

Superheroes should not be laid off.

Now I'm imagining Joe calling into the unemployment office like his recounts of calls to where he worked.

Unemployment worker: We're sorry you lost your job.

MM: I'm not.

UW: ???

MM: Oh, it sucked, I had to take calls all day, many from idiots. Anything would be better than that job.

UW: We have openings cleaning toilets and hauling garbage.

MM: Wooo hooo! Ca-Ching!

Hmmm...I suppose I could get back to that, if nothing else to keep me sane.

I know you've been through it before , Joe. But I hope it is over in the blink of an eye. Matt has been out of work for about 3 weeks now -- and he pretty much feels like a yo-yo riding a roller coaster.

So I went to get my x-rays done. I went to the x-ray place in the hospital. They looked at my form and said, "Oh, you need to get this done at the clinic, not here." I said OK and went over to the clinic, a block away. Signed in, sat down, waited about half an hour, got called up, gave my insurance information, sat down again, waited about 15 minutes, and got called up again. The x-ray tech tells me that they can't do this x-ray there, it's a special kind that needs to be done at the hospital. I said, "I went there first, and they sent me here." He said, "Well, they shouldn't have." So, back to the hospital. Wait another fifteen minutes or so.

Finally actually got to the x-ray room. The x-ray tech asked me if I'm wearing a bra. I say yes. He says that I need to take it off for the x-rays. I say OK. He continues looking at me. I continue looking at him. He finally realizes that I'm not going to take off my bra while he's looking at me, so he turns around. Get a few x-rays of my shoulder in different positions. Every single time, I have to remind him to give me the lead apron. Then one of the shots didn't come out right, so we have to take that one over. Again, I need to remind him that I need the lead apron.

Total of about two hours to get three x-rays.
