Well! Yesterday my office burned down. From what I understand, some idiot from the company downstairs flicked a lit cigarette into an outdoor trashcan. About a quarter after four, the fire alarm went off and everyone shuffled out of the office. Once outside, we could all see the smoke billowing out and flames licking up the side of the building.

Oh Faith!

I almost barfed when I heard the news. It is awful.

I'm so glad you made the cut though, marvelous!

I love you.

Barfed? That's a rather... violent reaction, ne? After much discussion with the higher-ups, I've discovered that there will be no cuts made. And while I had been put on to the emergency crew list, the temporary office is a two hour drive from here. Considering that that would mean a 13-hour day including commute, Mother convinced our manager that it would be foolish since I could be just as much help from home.

Yes, I'm working from home, but not as a receptionist! I'm doing the tedious paperwork that no one else has the time to do. Huzzah. And once that's done, I'll be trained to help out the Billing Department. So for the next few weeks, I'm wearing only pajamas.
