[The following conversation took place just minutes ago between myself and my dear friend Alexis of Funemployment Blog fame. Tough times indeed.]
Kev: how's Nana?
Alexis: she's okay
she cried twice today
:(
she's getting really depressed
Kev: oh jesus alexis that's horrible
i'm sorry
Alexis: just the waiting around not knowing when she'll have the surgery and the anticipation of a MAJOR operation
she can't even get to the bathroom on her own without horrible pain
it's not fun
Kev: fuck that's a shot of perspective
Alexis: no kidding
i'm so grateful for my health
Kev: your health, your youth, your life...
so many things to be grateful for in the face of that
Alexis: yeah, no kidding
oy- anyway
Kev: you at starbucks?
Alexis: indeed
Kev: i heard they laid people off
which is just shocking
microsoft, starbucks and just today, farm equipment manufacturing company Caterpillar
Caterpillar Alexis! Caterpillar!
Alexis: aww crap!
Kev: i know
Alexis: They were my safety company!
Kev: totally
me too
now i'm FUCKED
Alexis: if all else failed, i thought i would at least be able to break the tractor marketing industry
shit
Kev: yep
your nana has it easy compared to this shit
Alexis: yeah, right?!
Kev: RIGHT

I laughed out loud at this.
