Thanks all, for the encouragement about the work situation. I think an afternoon of serious downtime will do me a lot of good. I've been thinking about the situation, and I think I've figured out some of what's going on. Maybe not everything, but enough that I think I can work around or wait out a few things that are causing me some issues.

Also, rest is helping. I'm in a fair amount of discomfort, and pain always makes me bitchy and disgruntled.

(((((Beth and Andy))))). Much -ma.

What does one give as a thank you gift to a neighbor who you don't even know who spends an hour getting your car unstuck? Restaurant gc? Baked goods? Both?

((((beth)))). Sorry to hear that.

I think baked goods with the recipe makes a fine gift.

Awww... big hugs for Andy Cat and his people.

That sounds like a baked goods occasion, sj.

Baked goods works.

I'm sorry, beth.

Oh, Beth. I'm so sorry. Hugs to you and DH and Andycat.

Anne, I hope your work malaise lifts. It's so hard to hit that burned out feeling.

((((Beth))) """"Andy""""

(Or is there another emoticon for skritches?)

{{{beth and Andy Cat}}} I am so sorry.
