Holy Carp!

There's been a lot of turmoil in Cube City lately. Layoffs are picking people off quietly from one week to the next, creating some fear, uncertainty, and the reminder that nothing is forever.

Meanwhile, the Texas Tornado has been whirling around on Facebook, stirring up dirt and then stalling out. Between her weekend fishing photos and intentionally vague status updates, she's kept her local viewers on storm watch, to say the least. The Tornado finally released the pressure she's been building the past few days to let her viewers know that she's accepted a job elsewhere.

Holy Carp! The Texas Tornado has jumped off the boat! I didn't see that one coming -- at least, not in that way.

I wonder what her next Cube City experience will be like. Will her new boss put up with her shit? Will she be able to keep the crazy at bay and build a reputable career for herself, or will her employer realize they've caught a bad fish and throw her back into the sea? Perhaps Facebook will be the place that provides us with updated weather alerts from her end of the world. I think I'll stay tuned and be ready to take cover if necessary.

Yikes! That's what I get for going on vacation. I am totally out of the loop. Maybe this means a nice break in the weather????

Go Fish! This one has Wind in the Willows all over it - Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, to mix a few more metaphors into the Holy Carp/Tornado topic.

Let's get some seafood and hunker down.
