Not Really Sad

So today after lunch I got "laid off". Which is code for: the CEO doesn't really know how to run a company, made a lot of dicey business decisions, and then ran out of money to pay me. I'm not broken up about it, or really even mad, because Patrick and I have been talking and praying about how to get out of this bad company situation. So there you go. Problem solved. Now if I can just find somewhere to work until I have this baby...

Call Us Crazy

Or maybe just glutton for punishment...
