Have you consulted with Rikki Tikki Tabby about this new addition to the family (if RTT starts playing around with a crochet needle I'd get a bit worried, if I were you....)

I have hidden all my crochet hooks for the duration, although I did find the beginnings of a mysterious afgan which I promptly disposed of in the nearest police call booth!

Actually, one reason I picked Rikki is that he came from a household which includes two dogs, so I'm hoping he will not be too stunned when the puppy arrives. I've raised puppies and kittens together and never had a problem. It can be difficult when an adult animal must suddenly cope with a member of the opposite species. I think the two young 'uns will sort it out, though. If not, there's always the crochet hooks!

WHAT? Oh, my God! I am so sorry! Your employer must be an idiot. Tell us who you worked for so we can send them anonymous hate mail. What a rotten thing to do right before Christmas! The jerks could have waited until December 26th, anyhow. Oh, too bad!

I've seen V lurking. Wonder when we'll get an update?

Yes, I've seen V lurking, too. I wish he would post and tell us he's surviving or going postal or whatever. It always helps to get feedback from your friends, my friend.

And I'm with Patrick, I'd proudly sign my real name and address on any hate mail directed toward your former employer as long as it didn't boomerang back on you.

Speak, Big V!

Getting fired sucks. Getting a new job rocks.

Matter of time, BigV, matter of time.

Everything they're saying is right on the money. You will work again. This is an unscheduled vacation. Lining up with Advent could be a blessing in disguise for someone who wants to observe the season in a Christian manner. Make straight the way. blessings man it will be ok.

History has repeated itself.

I am hustling to get my resume ready for primetime. I will post more details as soon as I can. In the meantime, I'm officially the newest and hungriest job-seeker out there.
