And in the world's least surprising development, I just got laid off.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.
Oh, no! Dana, I'm sorry.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm sorry, Dana. That was fast.

I swear to god, my second or third thought was, "I don't have to get up for my 7AM meetings Wednesday or Thursday."

Pretty sure my manager got laid off too, though I haven't officially heard, which I doubt anyone saw coming, least of all her.

That occurred to me right away, but I thought I'd better not bring it up.
Layoffs suck. And they always seem to be handled so badly! Maybe there isn't a good way to do it, but surely there's better than that.

Oh damn, Dana. I'm sorry to hear that. I hope there's some severance and you can find something better soon.

That sucks, Dana! But I am glad you are free from those onerous morning calls.
