Mozzie: I’m so glad you’re hanging in! You can’t keep a good woman down! I’m unemployed and depressed myself and I KNOW Wallowsville. You’ve inspired at least one person to get off her duff and keep on trying. Because, as you say, what’s the alternative? Love and strength (such as it is) to you.

I’m with you, sister. Those at the top are like scum that wafts in a pond. They hold meetings about other meetings while the workerbees actually produce something. I’ve been at the table with them during their champagne lunches. I’ve seen the billable hours that fund parties and fine dining and hotel rooms. Those at the top have something in common. They are missing that little thing called a conscience. They step on the heads of others with ease and a smile. Thankfully, there’s karma.

I appreciate not only the reminder to cherish life and its gifts, but also the vulnerability you show in writing so frankly about your negative feelings and seemingly missed-mark frustrations, not to mention the soft heart that appeared when pondering a former “enemy’s” family tragedy.

Well offered. Thank you.

I agree that most of the top brass are sleazeballs. Just look at why Tyco, Enron, Worldcom, Wall Street, the mortgage giants, etc. have all faltered. I thought that my college business ethics course was a waste of time because I was too naive to think that such educated people could be such worthless thugs and scumbags. Such a fitting topic for “Mama Lay Softly On The Riverbed.”

Just read your blog and know exactly what you are feeling about the ones who “succeed” in life. This writer has two degrees and a community college diploma and is waiting for her welfare cheque to arrive in the mail. What I would like to know is how someone without any university training got substitute jobs ahead of me before Christmas and how am I not supposed to take that personally?

I started looking at this time as my retirement.

Comment on And if you must go to work tomorrow…well, if I were you, I wouldn’t bother by Jay Jay

Hang in there, sistah – I have faith in you. You rock-capiche??

I’m so sorry for this happening to you. It’s scandalous how companies (including my own) will hire people with even whispers of economic doom on their lips. I wish you Godspeed in locating new fruitful work.

I am sooooo sorry! It is scary, scary times out there. I just had to accept at 10% paycut at my job, which is a contract job in the first place and therefore tenuous. And in a rash spell, I took an apartment on Saturday! I just don’t know if I will be able to afford it now……

We will all get through this! Not today or tomorrow. Who knows, maybe you were let go so you would be free to take your REAL dream job, which is just around the corner?

I think the most important question is, “Do you want to see your blog continue?”

My response is yes; though, I think it would be good to break with the “bad husband” title and start anew–as in your real life.

I think the show HAS to go on, Mozzie! This is kind of like ‘therapy’ for you, and much cheaper than paying a shrink!

It’s also a creative outlet, to get yer ya-ya’s (and anger) out, with words, and not deeds! That’s always good. So yes – keep it going, if not for the daily cartoons & pictures, for your continued release of creative energy! And as you said before, you could take these and turn them into a book someday? Or at least, become an even bigger blog than you are now?

The new direction I would like to see you take is the ‘Office Space’ angle; all the weird things you see, the crazy folks you have to deal with on a day-to-day basis, funny co-workers, even business trips/flights out of town might turn up some rather funny observations that would make you, and then your readers, laugh out loud!

Keep up the good work Mozzie! You know we love you! ;-P

I wish. At least then, I would’ve had the option of marking “return to sender.”

I hope you will! How about your new adventure of life after divorce? Lots of folks can surely relate to that. Good luck, our Mozzie Star!

Mozzie, I really hope to see the site continue. I can only speak for myself that I’ve been following your story for quite some time now and enjoy your creativity, insightful comments and humor! Would love to see how the rest of your story unfolds.

Comment on An honest mistake? by Brutus

Perhaps consider the end of this refrain and the import of the path you trod:

ROAD LESS TRAVELED

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

Then took the other as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet, knowing how way leads onto way
I doubted if I should ever come back

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference

Robert Frost

Ouch. The truth hurts, but even more so from ‘wise counsel’ such as yourself.

“An Honest mistake”? Hardly. A hardheaded mistake? Probably. A foolish mistake? Absolutely! Maybe now, you have learned you should listen more closely to wise counsel and weigh the inputs more seriously. Otherwise, you may be doomed to repeat these same errors and suffer, once again, what you say you abhor.

Comment on No patience for ‘the patient’ by Redman

Now the concern is that you don’t jump and make another “mistake” like this one. Be slow to engage and very wary from the start. Twice burned should make you afraid of fire; very afraid.

Love your bad husband chronicles, on some instances I can really relate.

Problem with your husband is that he needs a mum more than he needs a mate. What a twat.

This Annie Lennox song is so brutally true. **Kudos** to you for including it on such an appropriate topic.
