Maine Event

I won't have access to a computer all morning due to this morning's insane schedule at work. Someone send in a patient with word of the outcome of the Maine vote today, mmmmkay?

Melvin P. Thorpe

I see that Dom Deluise has died. I was thinking of him just this past Saturday.

On the way to math class, I listened to Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. I realized that the words for "Texas Has A Whorehouse In It" could be changed to "S F Has A Streetfair In It" to reflect the SFPD's latest actions regarding Up Your Alley.

Dom's Melvin P. Thorpe character could be replaced with Peter LaBarbera, and it's the same freakin' thing, only 30 years later.

Outta the blue

Before I left work, I saw an email with an employee's name in the title. She now works in the other office, so I didn't bother reading it. I figured it was yet another promotion for her or else she had died of swine flu.

I had kinda convinced myself this evening that it must have been a tragic death, so I logged on to check the work email.

Turns out she was laid off. I'm very surprised. She was very bright, friendly, and we have open (lower level) positions available in our own group that she has done previously. Now I'm just pissed. I'd like to see many other employees let go instead of her.

The email "reassures" us that this is the only layoff for our group for the rest of the calendar year. Right, like I can trust that B.
