  • Well, it finally happened

    Got called into the conference room and laid off. Which is actually better than the firing I expected. Got 2 weeks pay in lieu of notice, along with 8 days of vacation paid out. Sucks that it's the same week my car died, but whatever. Might actually help me pay for the dang car, not sure.

    But the main point is...now I am free to tell my stories!!!

    and oh, there are stories...

        The lay off is definitely your blessing in disguise, Joi. As for the stories...bring 'em on!

                            Actually, the majority of new stories will be about batshit-insane Boss. The one who took over after Awesome Boss abandoned us.

                            She was...special.
