My boss now is his own worst enemy, but for me he is actually the best boss I've had since moving down here. He is mostly hands off and I am actually self managing fairly well. 5 years ago I could not self manage, but my life is much calmer now and in this job I have learned what needs doing. A few of the reasons that I am not looking to change jobs. Another year and a half and I get another week of vacation. Whoot
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And yeah, they fired him. Total scapegoat situation where he warned and warned and warned them that something would go wrong, and they ignored him, and something went wrong, and his manager threw him under the bus to cover her own ass.

Oh no! I am so sorry.

In a sense, it's okay, because he was miserable, and he'll get unemployment, and we have my benefits and no financial worries. But personally, it stings.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Ugh, Dana, that blows. I mean, it's fantastic that you'll be okay in terms of your benefits and finance-wise, but what a shitty thing for his manager to do. I hope karma catches up to her soon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, ugh, Dana! Your poor husband. That is really shitty.
I swear, 80% of what sucks about people's jobs is bosses.
Yuuuuup.

One fairly awful thing about my employer is that they fight every single application for unemployment in the case of firing.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry, Dana.
Went for the 1 month pediatrician visit. The little guy is doing great, gaining weight on schedule and all.

I am so sorry Dana. That sucks.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Ugh Dana, what a mess.
I had a "eat a freaking muffin, whitey" moment today in Zaro's when I noticed they had a row of sugar-crusted sweet bagels next to the croissants and muffins (and away from the respectably savory bagels). I would have taken a picture but I was groggy and a little hungover, so...
