Sigh
I’m in a bit of shock and very, very sad…my boss was laid off today; a warm, generous, intelligent, compassionate woman who has quite simply been the best person I have ever worked for. Period. I don’t think the Board of Directors has any idea the amount of work she’s done for this department. I don’t know what we’re going to do without her and really I wonder how long I’m going to stay. Not that I have a lot of options for jobs that will support my writing habit, but you know.
I guess I’m glad I’m going out of town tomorrow, even if the sniper killed someone two miles from my father’s house. I’ll take my chances.
