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.
That's really awful, Tep.
I so wish I could be at f2f, too, but I'm sure my half-drunken shouts of "Victory!" might even alarm Buffistas. Although going by previous events, drinking at f2f is the closest I get to knowing what Vince's life is like: Everything's okay and I end up kissing loads of people...throw in approval on the aguaman suit, and I'd be golden, baby.
Oh, Tep, my condolences to your mom. Our own parish just shut down its K-6 school completely last year--even before the economy tanked altogether, the whole Bay Area was struggling and enrollment had dropped by somewhere between a quarter and half. But at least they worked their asses off to find other jobs for the one or two staffers who were in something like your mom's position (mostly half-time work in various diocese offices, but at least something), so they'd have some kind of continuous paycheck until they actually hit 65. The people at your mom's school, OTOH, just sound kind of dickish.
I'm so sorry for her. In addition to all the financial worries, what an utter gutpunch.
I'm sorry, Steph.
I hope things smooth out for you soon, smonster.
