Hey, I understand something about the office politics- just got laid off from one of my two part time jobs - got totally blindsided. A month ago they were saying they were going to try to get me more work, and then 'here's your hat, what's your hurry'. *sigh* OH well, maybe it will turn out that I find something full time - that would be a nice change of pace. I wish you luck Sir, and hope you find something better that isn't so frustrating for you.

OH, and like SBBE, I kind of like the 'slightly older' couple in your pics, too. Gives me hope there too : )
