Thank you so much, Laura. I found her! The old information on the report is all correct, so I am hoping that the current address listed for her is correct. Now, all I need to figure out is what to say in a letter to a friend you haven't spoken to in 8 years.
Mom! Dead people are talking to you. Do the math!

Our wings are not tired.
Yay! I hope the address is good.

I hope so too. Of course, there is a very good chance I could send her a letter and never hear back, even if it is good. So, I may never know. On the plus side, she doesn't have a criminal record. It was a remote possibility, but I just really want to know she is doing ok.

Ugh Scrappy, that sucks!

I'm sorry, Scrappy. I hope you find a better job with a fabulous organization very soon.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm sorry, Scrappy. That truly sucks. (Although I, too, went to a "who fires the firers" place for a sec.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I read the termination letter and said "well, I know what this says, since I wrote it."

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Omnis, you have recieved excellent, sound advice. That is scary stuff.
Speaking of scary stuff, a few minutes ago I noticed a strong smell of smoke/burning here at work. The supervisor was all "no worries, we'll just shut off the external air intake" and then a couple minutes later someone else noted that there was distinct smoke in another room in the building, so now the fire dept is en route to their dispatch center to investigate. Awesome. Total business as usual. This reminds me that our protocol for an actual fire on the operations floor (or any other distaster) is to stay at our stations and continue processing calls until a supervisor personally relieves each one of us. Good times. Can I go home now?
