Dana, that is just a clusterfuck for your family. The sort of people who pre-announce a termination don't sound like they're all warm and fuzzy about work/life balance, but I hope they do your husband fairly, and that he's not even on the potential list anyway. Y'all need to move on your schedule, not anyone else's.
Why won't Gina Torres marry me? What did I do wrong? Is it the straight thing? Me? Or her? Shit.
Have you defeated Laurence Fishburne yet?
Husband is talking to his parents, and apparently his mother doesn't think he needs to come to the funeral. His family is very different than mine.
But they both agree that the timing would be bad, with the layoffs.
I'm sorry, Dana. I can't imagine why they'd think it was a good idea to tell a department that small that one would be let go. Did they expect the four to arm wrestle for it or something?
Oh, no, Dana.
I would still go, layoffs be damned, but that's my family.
I would go too, and have choice words for anyone who suggested I shouldn't go, but it's his family, so.
Dana, I am so sorry.
OMG, my Batman leather jacket arrived.
I cannot WAIT to see pictures of you in it. Eeee!
Goals? I actually do have them, am working toward them, and simultaneously feel like
OMG THIS IS HAAAARD
and
OMG I AM A SLACKER AND NOT PUTTING ENOUGH EFFORT INTO THIS, TRY HARDER.
