Last night I had a dream that I was drawing rectangles on a blank piece of paper and my boss was standing over me, telling me how much they sucked.

You don't have to be a psychologist to tell you what that means.

0oo, oo, me first!!

The rectangles symbolize how he is a square but you want to flatten him out a little bit. Him standing over you represents how he is cold and empty and can only be warmed and filled by your aura of resplendent awesometude. Him telling you how much they sucked is just constructive criticism cuz, for christ's sake can't you even draw a damn rectangle in your dreams!?1!

The boss boss told us he's leaving next month for a new job

Working on my resume, a friend said she has an "in" for me at this other company

Something like that happened here today, one of the managers was either let go or left on his own. I am assuming let go. He is such a competent and forward thinking manager I am so upset and discouraged by the news. It's like a death in the family. I feel like they took the one person who was leading us forward, threw him off the bus and now we're careening towards the edge of the cliff.

Sucks.

Sucks.

I hope everyone felt that way when I suddenly stopped making an appearance in the office.

I've had a rough couple of weeks Trading even though the market has virtually gone straight up (aside from today). The stocks I selected all began to run/move, and then stopped or reversed course. VERY frustrating.

So today, I joined a trading group. It's lead/moderated by a veteran Trader who provides real-time trades, chart w/ notes, etc. There's a private chat where other Traders like me all congregate too; the idea being that many eyes are better than one (two?). It's a real community. I think I'm going to love it.

OMG I'm having a FB war with my Facebook "friends" because I DARED to say this:

Whitney coined the phrase "Crack? Crack is whack." Why is anyone surprised by her death. I sound heartless but this is a woman who had it all, had fame, family, influence, money and incredible talent and threw it all away for coke. She exposed her child to it , ruined her health and career for it....sad, yes, surprised, no.

People are calling me insensitive...here's one reply:

ya. all druggies are pieces of shit! they should die. and deserve no help or compassion! well said sarah. you might want to read a book about addiction. sorry if that sounds rude.

People are idiots

Good thing your friend doesn't follow, say, Mike Lawrence, who was posting so many "offensive" jokes immediately after the news came out.
