You might also want to point out to her that they're probably going to hire someone with less experience ... who'll cost less.
I'm assuming that's going to be the case. (Not that she made *that* much in the first place -- working for a Catholic school does not yield one the type of salary working at an ad agency would.)
She's going to be 63 on Saturday (way to fire my mom 5 days before her birthday, assholes), and was thinking about retiring, but because the economy is so lousy, was going to keep working for a while. So maybe now she'll just retire. Don't know.
That sucks, Steph. I'm sorry.
And it's making me edgy, because I was just telling The Boy yesterday that just about this time last year is when *I* got suddenly almost-fired. I'll feel better when we're past the 4th of July (it happened on the 3rd).
Although this isn't about me, and I know that. It's just sitting weird on my mind.
Hello, my lovelies.
Steph, so sorry about your mom getting fired.
seanie, you will be sorely missed at the f2f. Buffista snuggles are good for what ails ya.
La la la, not a good day for me. I see my shrink in 2.5 hrs, and it cannot happen fast enough. I can't even get it up to buy my f2f ticket, and, uh, that kind of needs to happen pronto.
Well, crappity, Teppy. That's really rotten for your mom.
Teppy, your poor mom. Job~ma to her.
smonster, be good to yourself.
I really, really, really wish we could go to the F2F this year.
Harvey is in my arms, purring away.
Tep, so sorry. And I know it shouldn't matter, but unfair stuff happening near a birthday just seems extra unfair.
