Chewing nails and spitting thumbtacks

Not good for the dental work, but it does tend to clear up iron deficiencies. Yes, I'm angry. I just found out my long anticipated weekend has been blown to Hell by unscrupulous bastards that take advantage of friendships. It's not just that Joe has to miss this weekend with me that has me infuriated, it's that he was also forced to miss spending his daughter's birthday with her because not only did his employer insist on playing fast and loose with proper employment procedures, but then underpayed him for the work he did. I'm in the process of trying to figure out how to get him some cash as fast as I can in order for him to be able to spend time with his little girl - I figure that we'll be together when the stars align in our favor one of these centuries.

If anyone wants to make a contribution to the cause, feel free to comment and I'll let you know how to get in contact with me. Every little bit helps.
