Well, THAT's embarrassing.

I just got back from a Town Hall Meeting from our division. The poorly managed HR department proceeded to attempt to explain the hierarchy of upcoming layoffs which managed to alarm everyone in the room. It could not have been more inexpertly worded. The whole meeting made me queasy and fearful and this lead to, well, barfing. In front of management. Fuck.

Thursday! At last!

Wow! Tonga's underwater volcano blows . (video from nyt.com -sorry: you have to wait through the commercial-) I had a nice long gossip last night curled up in my closet with Best Girl Mix. Her two year old son is a personality in full force. Two is such a fun age. Suddenly the itch for new tools is upon me. This always leads to chasing Snap On Tool trucks, where the drivers are always rather confused if I need a new ratchet attachment or a bag of weed. What I should focus on is getting a new dress for Jess's wedding in June (three months!). I am hopeless at dress shopping. Volunteers? Something in the vein of an afternoon cocktail dress. Those morning cocktail dresses are trouble, particularly if a turban is involved. Nothing strapless, please. This is the tool we have been looking for since pdfs were invented.
