I went downstairs 4 minutes (four minutes!) late to move the car and it had been FUCKING
    TOWED! At 1:04!!!! Two hours, a trip to the Navy Yard and $300 later I am packing again. Asswipes.
    Fucking COCKSUCKERS! They were probably laying in wait like some kind of fucking predator. Assholes.

    Unbelievable. I actually ran to the corner to look up the street to try and get a glimpse of it. It was that close.

    Rave: Papi and Mami giving my cab driver directions to the Navy Yard over the phone because I stupidly forgot to look up how to get there before I left.

    Rant: my boss is resigning. I will now report directly to the a-hole CFO who doesn't care or know at all about what I do.

    Rant: they are not replacing your boss?

    ...seems they are making a cut back.
  • scarlett

    They hope to replace my old boss (who retired) and my new boss (who really resigned). Not cut backs. My professional life seems to get more difficult by the minute. Just met with the acting president and CEO and basically he had nothing to offer in the way of support. Argh. Kill me.

    Suze Orman says I should be thankful I have a job and come to work early and leave late every day with a smile.

    Need martini wine lobster good feelings from last night.

    Um, see my rave from last night and you will know that it is all inside me. Last time we did lobster we got one small each and as soon as the meal was over we wanted to eat it again so this time we got TWINS!!!!!!!!!!

    "Suze Orman hasn't had to work for anybody but her self in a damn long time"

    ...which makes her smarter than a lot of us, who have to work for others.

    that's true, but if she did have to go back and work for somebody, I wonder how long she could keep her trap shut

    Whynot, ignore my posts. You have nothing relevant to add. I don't post to you, do me the same favor.
