That sucks, Dana. I hope he finds something with a sane boss soon.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Sweet bagels??? So wrong.
Dana that sucks but hopefully it'll mean he finds a better less evil job/boss.
That sucks, Dana. I hope he finds something with a sane boss soon.
What Ginger said.
I'm sorry, Dana.
The people running communications for the maryland Ys seem to be dumb as posts.
shrift, perhaps I should warn you that since I know what dishes you have I may randomly pick up coordinating tableware if I see it available.
CONSIDERING that I was planning to order more of the same dishes and maybe get some pasta bowls as well, I would welcome any coordinating tableware you find and wouldn't throw it out when you weren't looking. Also, thank you!
The little guy is doing great, gaining weight on schedule and all.
Go you, baby boy!
But personally, it stings.
I'm certain they'll regret firing him. But at least he doesn't have to go to that miserable place anymore.
Jeez, the anual blood drive is next Thursday, which is also the day of our "Operations Appreciation" event where we're all going to Scandia for most of the day, so I tried to schedule a late afternoon (well, 3pm) appointment to give blood and everything after 2:30 was already taken. 7 minutes after the blood drive email went out. Seven minutes.
We are both having work crisis time in my household as well. Because he is a federal employee, mr. flea is fairly unlikely to be fired, but he hates everything at work so much right now I'm afraid he'll quit. Quit his "dream job" that we moved to Ohio for. ARGH.
My crisis is more "I am bored and considered a cog rather than a valued employee, plus underpaid of course" but my big issue is I am having so much trouble running a family and working full-time. I simply don't have enough energy at the end of the day to manage the emotions of everyone in my family (about to be 12, going to high school, hormones; 9, stubborn as fuck and makes brushing teeth into an hour long fight every night; 46, stubborn as fuck and wants to complain about work nonstop) as well as do the things that need doing like feeding and clothing everyone.
Ugh, Dana.
So the thing I long feared would happen finally has. Yesterday I forgot that I drove to work and took the bus home. Oops. I wonder if I can get an entry ticket on foot and avoid a $48 stupidity tax.
The house two doors down from us was sold to a 27 year old single man who offered 600K all cash. We were trying to figure out why he wanted to live in our neighborhood (which is full of families and kids).
Witness protection!
Sorry about the job news, Dana.
What a fucking drag, Dana. I feel for your husband.
Today we find out Matilda's teacher/class assignment. Since they lump the 4th/5th graders together, and you keep the same teacher for 2 years, this is a bit more consequential than the previous assignments.
On the flip side, we've learned to deal with the trauma of not having besties in your class.
Ugh - one of my friends just discovered that her high school aged teen daughter needs SIX extractions for orthodontia because she has all these baby teeth that never properly came out, and her previous dentist didn't catch it. Plus she'll need extra surgery to guide the adult teeth down. That's triggering all my dental anxiety about Matilda's work. So stressy!
