Mom just left. My grandfather has been at the hospital all day because of stomach pains. Luckily, it is just a kidney stone (I was imagining worse).
It's after 5, so I can have a drink, right?

sj, I think you should have as many drinks as you want, at any time today. I'm so sorry about your friend.
Connie, I'll join you in the "Can it be menopause time now, please," corner.

Can it be menopause time now, please
7 years ago for me. Have I missed my periods even once? No, I have not.
Yes, you may drink, sj. In fact, I'll join you!

I am having a Mike's Hard Lemonade, and later I am having Trader Joe's chocolate covered pretzels for dinner.

Argh. So my boss called earlier. Seems that the project we've been waiting and waiting and waiting on? Is not as big as expected. AND, they don't need anyone in Seattle. SOoooo...they've arranged, even though the other division of the company isn't hiring, to switch me to that part. Unless I want to be laid off. Do I want to be laid off? (Um, no. No thanks. I'll take "having a job, even if it's less cool than my current one, for $200, Alex"). Sigh. So in the next couple days I should find out what new division of the company entails...but basically it's "less cool, more micromanagey" version of what I've been doing. With new boss. And means my whole goals, and plan for being awesome on this new project are out the window. Etc, etc. Sigh. Now I get to start in all in the middle of some other project, thrown in and "quick, get up to speed!" and "timelines deadlines metrics!!" and shit. Grrr. This is what I DIDN"T want when I joined this company. This is why I joined the OTHER part of this company. But...no, I DON"T want to be laid off in the middle of the worst recession in years, no. No. No.
