Stuff

My dad is in the hospital with heart problems.  My father-in-law is in the hopital for back surgery.  Monique has been up in NH since Monday morning to help her mom while her dad's in the hospital, a trip that was only supposed to be two days.  Monique just found out she's losing one of her key managers to a better paying job.  She also may have her entire division moved under a most unfavorable other division (which has more key personnel looking for a new job).  She was in tears when I spoke to her today.  This has been a(nother) week from Hell at work.  I'm totally fatigued and to make matters worse, my Fall allergies kicked in yesterday.  I'm ready for a break.

On the bright side, being the Dunkin' Donuts coffee hound that I am, this had me in tears today.  Nothing like a laugh to brighten up even the worst of days.
