Life Isn't Fair

I've told my kids since the day they were born that "life isn't fair". It's been our family motto for years. Unfortunately, a good friend of mine found out yesterday that life isn't fair. Her position at the Eagle has been eliminated and she will be looking for a new job. I've been at the same company for 31+ years, and I've lived through layoffs before - let's face it folks - these are LAYOFFS! I think the business world is way too scary now. Gas at $3.50/gallon (and rising). Milk at $4/gallon. It goes on and on. The cost of living continues to go up, our salaries don't - and we are eliminating positions AND outsourcing to other countries. I am so NOT a GWB fan. He's done nothing to stop the flood from drowning hard-working Americans. Something HAS to be done. People - you HAVE to vote come November! Anybody has to be better than what we have now!

And C - our hearts go out to you! You know who your friends are. We're here for you! And at the end of this road, you will be an even stronger person than you are now (if that's possible!) Love ya!

i agree it is getting harder and harder. expenses are going up and salaries are going down. it's not easy! I hate to hear about the layoffs - I hadn't heard that yet but am picking it up now on the blogs. Not sure who they are but so so sorry.

Isn't This Gross?

Corby lets Muffin drink out of his milk glass. Isn't that disgusting? I love animals, but I sure don't share my drinks with them. YUCK! Brandon will be home tomorrow - on his 19th birthday! His last final is at 12:30. Corby & Kaleb are headed up to help him bring his stuff home. I was planning on going, but because Hope is out on medical leave, I can't take off. That's okay - I really wasn't looking forward to carrying his stuff down 7 flights of stairs! YIPPEE - MY BABY IS COMING HOME FOR THE SUMMER! Does anyone else out there love "House Hunters" - the show on HGTV? For some reason, that show grabs me. I like to see the 3 houses the couples (sometimes singles) choose from. Of course, most of them have a lot more money than we do! Saw one last night that was a young couple in Chicago - lived in the inner city, but with 2 kids decided to move to the suburbs. Their goal was to find a house for under $1,000,000. That a million dollars folks! How can peop...

Terrible Day

I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here, but suffice it to say that I had a TERRIBLE day at work! I made a huge mistake costing the company some revenue, and I feel awful! I certainly didn't need anyone to get on my butt, because I was kicking myself for the better part of the day. I know, I know, I'm human, but this was a BIG human mistake! I hate to admit that I'm human! HATE TO MAKE MISTAKES - ESPECIALLY BIG ONES! Okay, that's it. I'm having a margarita and trying to relax now. I'm done with being human for a while!
