Carl's free time is generously restored to him

Budget meetings portend badly for the lowly temp. I got sacked along with two others. Apparently the mayor wants to have his parks maintained without paying money for it. While I, of course, take this type of setback in stride, the last two hours of work after I heard the news were less than motivated. I also took it upon myself to soothe the nerves of fellow firee Greg, who was stuck in disgruntled mode. But then I'd never known him to be very gruntled anyway. Some people just have stressed-out personalities, which I find very strange.

Heh. I've got some Stevie Ray Vaughan playing and my dad just asked me from downstairs if it was me playing the guitar. Um, no. I'm not quite that good yet. :D Thanks, though!
