Well, it was basically a "our expenses are outpacing our income, so let's all brainstorm ways to decrease our expenses and increase our income" meeting.

Big!Boss was adamant that he won't cut salaries/hours/benefits, which is amazing. We are so fucking lucky.

CHANGING CHANNELS (sheesh!) from Candida (oy!) back to Stonewall FC - they made it to the FINALS. The Outgames gay soccer WORLD FINALS. They'll come home with silver or gold.

This is *astounding*, considering they're playing against teams with well-entrenched and well-supported football participation and histories. I may have to give them all victory snogs. Well, not all. Some.

A few.

They made it to the finals. Snog them all.
