Had a conversation with my friend ‘Lucy’ this morning about her new job and how cruddy it is. She thinks her new boss thinks she’s a pariah. No matter, she doesn’t much like it there either, but it’s a new job, and how do you tell your husband you got fired after only working a couple of weeks? 

I usually announce that kind of news with something like “Honey I had a terrible, horrible day. I got fired. Let’s have some raunchy sex.”

He tends to forget the first part of that sentence. And usually after he farts and goes to sleep I won’t have to deal with the conversation until the next day.

Always got to be on your toes.
