Frank, I'm so sorry. And Scrappy, hoping for the best for your family as well.

Frank, lots of warm thoughts and ~ma for you and your family. I'm so sorry.
ita !, good luck! Kick some ass.
msbelle, hoping that job opens up and scoops you right away from your DB boss.
Amy, hope you get the job and that your allergies ease up.

Frank, best of wishes that everything is as easy and good as it possibly can be.
I am so spoiled by Amazon Prime and places like Zappos that I am ridiculously irked by things that are so first world. For example: I ordered a new coat and a dress from Land's End on Thursday. Two day shipping was only $5, so I thought "sure, I"m impatient. Bring it!" That was Thursday. They finally sent me an email TODAY saying it had been shipped. So two-day shipping starts now...which means I'll get it a week after I ordered it.
In contrast, I ordered something from Amazon Prime yesterday (Monday). Got an email today that it has been shipped and I will have it tomorrow. ...this is so why Amazon is winning (though possibly why they're not making money)

Also why there is such massive turnover in their warehouses, not that I know Lands End to be better.

Yeah, the downside of the overnight shipping is that the staff in the Amazon warehouses is treated very poorly.
Which won't, I'm afraid, prevent me from ordering a Paperwhite Kindle. Betsy got one and she says it's fantastic, far superior to the Kindle Fire for reading.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Frank, I'm so sorry. You and your family are in my thoughts.
Good thoughts for Scrappy's mom, too.

Yeah, I'd like to see some political messaging over not letting employers treat people like dirt. You know, that whole, "promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity" part. I have it pretty good, but a lot of people don't.

Gud, employers are allowed to do whatever the fuck they want, because why do you hate America? They're the only legitimate citizens.
Snark aside, I feel real despair at reading something like your comment, because it's so far from acceptable discourse anymore that I can barely even picture it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But it's so convenient for me for employees to be treated like dirt! If that waitress deserved more money, her boss should give it to her, not me. Why is that my responsibility?
Just read a small HuffPo piece on celebrities with bipolar depression. I have a hard enough time imagining what that is like on a small stage, but in front of a massive audience? Good lord...
Okay, more bailing out to go do. Now I have to guess what search terms have how many results in two different databases...good times!

Huh, I guess Emilie Autumn is too niche a performer to make that list. But she's based the majority of her career on being bipolar.
