Take 5

There is way too much going on inside this candy bar. Caramel, peanut butter, pretzels... I have no idea. Does anyone like these??

The home buying process is going well - the sales price is $136,500, and the appraisal came in at $154,000 - thank goodness! I am rolling some seller-paid closing costs into the purchase price, so if the appraisal had come in too low, the seller probably would have just reduced the amount of closing costs they were willing to pay. So we're fine there, and the bank is happy!

Just got back from being out of town for 2 weeks. My roommates found 2 stray dogs in the meantime, so I couldn't bring my dog home with me from my parents house (then we would have had 4 large dogs and an un-housetrained puppy in the house at once!)

Came back to the office on Saturday to hear that the girl I share an office with has been fired or resigned - either way, it wasn't on the best terms, and she won't be coming back. She is the first person to be let go since I started working here, and it's a little unsettling, especially since she was right at my level and I thought she was doing very well.

Were you disturbed the first time someone you worked with was fired?
