Thank You for the Opportunity
No blog yesterday because I was too freaked out. Yesterday will forever be known as Black Wednesday. Well, maybe not forever. Probably more like for the next week or so, until it slips my mind.
But I digest.
Yesterday was the day I was given the thinly-veiled ultimatum of, Continue to turn tricks for the Good Ol' Boys Club or be fired.
But I'll get to that in good time.
Husband has this thing with clothing. Not only does he love it, he calls it his armor. When he has an important meeting to go to at the Mayor's office or something, he'll put on his best suit, a white shirt, his favorite tie, and his shiney dress shoes. He feels ready to do battle when he knows he looks immaculate.
My voice teacher, too, subscribes to this theory. Whenever I'd sing in a voice recital, she'd always tell me, "Wear something you feel gorgeous in because you'll sing better."
This morning, I took a little extra care getting ready. I put on my favorite grey pants, and a pink, V-neck sweater. I curled my hair like a friggin' Breck girl and donned my favorite faux-Tiffany necklace. I'm even wearing flowered socks. I feel confident... and just a little brassy.
And I put this letter on Head Boss' desk:
Dear Head Boss:This letter is to serve as my official resignation from Company. My last day will be Friday, February 2, 2007.
Please send my final check and all retirement fund information to my home address.
It’s been a great pleasure working at Company for the past eight (or so) years. Thank you for the opportunity.
Sincerely,
Wenchie

I bet we know where the thinly veiled ultimatum was born.

I thought my Wednesday was bad this week, but obviously not as bad as yours! I can't wait to read about the rest of "Black Wednesday".
I hope Stella is doing better too.

I'm going to miss you. SOB! Oooo, I just realized, SOB can stand for me crying (which is how it originally is intended) or a nickname for the Head of the Good Ol' Boys Club.

Best of luck to you! They're worse off without you. Still waiting to hear more about this thinly-veiled ultimatum...

Confused - so you were part time cheerful, now moving on to no time gleeful??? Good for you. I'm jealous, and I might have to cry in my corner. Sniff.
