Mantra

Any day without Engineer Obsessive and Powerpoint is a Good Day.

Many many good days lately, so the Hag hasn't been too bent about the landslide of paperwork pouring in the door. She has forms from her former employer, where she promises not to sue them or bad mouth them (O ha ha), at least not in print, forms about benefits she is losing, benefits she is getting, unemployment forms, Medicare part A B C D and the rest of the alphabet forms for Mr. Hag, medical insurance forms in several flavors, and a stack of brochures, print outs, folders and fliers explaining all the above. The stack is four inches high and growing.

Apparently being laid off is a full time job, judging by the paperwork.

As an antidote to all this bureaucracy, the Hag has taken over the yard work - or Mr. Hag is attempting to supervise the Hag as she does the yard work. He's not bad as a boss: he doesn't show Powerpoint on the weed eater and when she flips him the bird he doesn't clutch his chest and yell for a lawyer.

Faint and far away, the Hag has heard things are not well with Former Employer. Tsk, tsk. Also that certain functions are being missed. Awwww. Good.

Any day without Engineer Obsessive and Powerpoint ...
