I think I see a nice bottle of red wine in my near future.

Rough week at work. Red wine should help with that!

And, I don't get the whole rOcKS see's X and we all should care crap either. It seems everyone is trying to be Margo - whose opinion I actually cared about and respected. Some of these critics in their own mind are just a few bricks beyond insufferable.

Carry on. (And pass the corkscrew).

Yes Tink, this economy is a long way from recovered!

We might have to think about another staff hour reduction with the pending retirement of one of the useless old partners.

I'm 50/50 right now. Plausible explainations have been given so far for most of the people in the recent past as it is more performance based then how the company is doing financially, but I dunno. As people have seen since I have been posting pretty much all day for a few weeks now compared to my MIA status for months, the work just isnt here at the moment.

No, Harris, you're not a bad person at all.

Okay, peeps, have a great weekend! I am outta here!!!

OK, just to chime in on the "this econony sucks" theme. I was informed today that there will probably be another round of cuts here next year. We may lose half our clerical staff and a number of us could have our jobs "reclassified" with a downgrade in title and salary. Same job, you understand, just less pay.

Oh yeah, I'm really looking forward to spending the bulk of my weekend here now.

Heading home to drink in peace while I can afford it.

Oh, Moony, don't drink alone.

We just let go our mail guy who has been here probably 20 year, and an assistant.

Tough times.

It's dreadful when a firm loses all that experience. Of course, it pales next to the human cost. The ripple effect of people being without viable income can be devastating. The lack of a meaningful way to spend your days can be soul destroying.

I know, Hep, it really can be. But I will say that the last time I was out of a job with hardly any prospects is when I started writing seriously, and it opened so many doors for me in so many different ways.

Thank you, adults, for five fun years.

I can't believe that I have been haunting this board this long.

Hello adults ... opening weekend tempered by the unexpected death of a local actor. While he was not a friend per se, I did know him and we had hung out a couple of times. He was good friends with one of my best friends.

Just coming in to vent because everyone involved is connected through my social networking sites. So, you know I lost my friend's daughter last week. Well, the night before her memorial, her 90 year old grandfather fell in the middle of the night and cracked his head open, needing stitches at 3:30 AM. After the memorial, her cousin raided the medicine cabinet and stole all of her prescriptions. (One of the bottles fell out of his back pack as he was leaving.) Now, her mother just called me. Their 12 year old dog had a stroke and had to be put to sleep tonight. How much can one family go through?!

I need a drink. Who has the rum?

Or coconut?



I will stick with my standby:
