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.
Wash: Mal, your dead army buddy's on the bridge! Zoe: He ain't dead. Wash: Oh.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
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...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sucks, Dana. I'm sorry. But I'm also glad he is out of a miserable job.
Glad to hear it, Sheryl!
I thought maybe some fruit juice might make me feel better, but I don't have enough money for the juice in our vending machine. I only have enough for Gatorade and that does not appeal. I am complaining mostly because I am appalled that juice is more expensive than Gatorade.
Can other people sign up for this service?
Of course! I know I've seen your dishes but I don't remember, what do you have?
