Naturally the sanity puddle would be small - it is hard to spill from an empty glass.

This flippancy brought to you by the letters O, M, and G; and I hope you are O.K., but I don't know what to say.

thank you dear- it's mostly HR paperwork bullsh*t for one of my employees. if we don't get things sorted out quickly i may lose him and have to hire someone new. on top of that are some scheduling aggravations that would make my being shorthanded a Very bad Thing. ahh- i do so love management :p
