Fired

(no, not me)

You remember that cloud of dirt that always followed Pigpen around in "Peanuts"? Well, I think one of my best friends has turned into a job-Pigpen. Every job she takes lately, the company closes or downsizes. She's had about three jobs in the past five years, counting several long stretches as a SAHM/job hunter. Today's email subject is "HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The full text of the message is: "Effective at 5:00 today, I am out of a job the COMPANY IS CLOSING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

It's not like she's been pretty much single-handedly paying the mortgage on the house or anything....

Shit.
