well, in the grand tradition of things, when i got to work today, there was something missing.

what was it? i couldn't quite put my finger on it, at first and then, as we crossed into the start of the day (that is, after 8:30), i realized it.

M2 hadn't shown up.

She didn't show up all day. or call. Jessica put a call in to her house, and nothing.

hopefully nothing has happened to her; but more likely, she simply quit without notice. it's sad how often this has happened. i'm pretty immune to it by now. i kept laughing to myself all morning about it.

we heard from N that M2 had expressed her disgruntledness last week: that Sarah was mean and Jessica needed to get her temper "under control". We've been running with that last one, cracking jokes at everything Jessica does or says, admonishing her to get her temper under control.

Good times. we're down 2 employees as of last Friday. not only did M2 not show up today, but last friday was M1 (Foxy)'s last day as well. difference? she had given us 2 weeks notice prior to it.

I will say this for M2's disappearance: Jessica's relieved and virtually giddy over it. At least now she doesn't have to fire her.
