Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Work gossip - my old annoying co-worker/nemesis major cause of stress and negativity. She got fired today.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

OMG, msbelle. That's karma. I think she got exactly what she deserved.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

She got fired today.

Happy dance in my chair!

Had great convo with new boss last night. Hammered everything out. I was supposed to see the offer letter today, along with instructions for the drug testing. Nothing in my inbox as of yet. Do I ping him and ask where it's at, or do I let it go until tomorrow? I can't give notice until I take the drug test.

I love Matt's idea. What was the firing for? Any idea?

No idea. I am being a bad human and trying to get all the gossip.

I mean the Jackhole boss is still there, but man am I glad she is gone.

It's after 5; I'd ping him tomorrow.

And karma IS a bitch. So many people need her lessons SO BADLY. I'm glad she got hers.

Thanks, Strix. I'm just so damned impatient to get on with it.
