Birds. . .

I haven't done as much birding as I would have liked this spring due to a combination of baby, crappy weather, Larry taking courses, and allergies. Grr! The birds, instead, have decided to come to me a bit. I was looking in the mirror the other day brushing my hair when a bird flittered about my screen window. I looked out to see a tiny little

So they are called cat birds because their calls resemble a cat? I'm not teasing I want to know.

Hey they fired Connie H. from work... she was devastated.

Yes, they actually make cat sounds. Such handsome birds. . .

I can't believe that about Connie. What is she going to do?

Her last day was today and it was so anti climatic, no real goodbye from roy she just shut her office door for the last time and she was gone.
I think Connie is going to try to find a job straight away. I wish she would take the summer off and hang with her kids and get some rest. The last 6 months were really hard on her. Corporations suck, she ,honestly,put her life on hold for that company and they just sacked her last thursday. . She was in tears, I felt bad that she had given so much and they just showed her the door. I realize that it really doesn't matter how hard you work, they'll screw you when they think they have to. Everything comes to an end.

Poor Connie. I feel for her, I do. She's a good person who certainly deserves better treatment than that. Sadly, this kind of crap is typical. Even the not-for-profit companies suck. My sister worked for Children's Television Workshop (Sesame Street), and it was the worst place she ever worked at--oh, the stories, including one about darling Rosie O'Donnell forcing my sister to interview her brother for a position that he had zero qualifications for, etc. They fired an old woman and a guy with AIDs. It was a nightmare and every person there was miserable.
