Update, oatmeal, being the boss.

Good morning! Want some oatmeal?

It turns out bringing Employee #2 to the doctor was a really good thing. She has an abnormal heartbeat, and while she's no immediate danger they're running her on all kinds of tests over the next week or two. Yeesh. The good thing is, she feels much better knowing that: 1) She's not about to die, 2) She's getting treated. This is a fit, 26-year-old woman... but who's family has a history of all kinds of stuff.

My family? We live forever. But we go insane early.

Employee #3 is coming back to work today. She's the one with a verifiable-semi-serious ilness that may have additional components. The thing here from an employee standpoint is that prior to all this going down, she was going to have an employee review where part of the review would be: We can't afford you the way we're paying you. So I'm feeling pretty stuck on this... legally, my motives were correct... from a business perspective, I think I'm pretty much spot on... but from a human perspective... bad, bad timing.

I know what'll fix everything: cocaine and hookers!

Kidding. Sorry. Anyway. I'm teaching my second class today, and I have NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. Any ideas? Think stock PCs, kindergarteners. Actually, I have some ideas... but not concrete.

Love to all. Even you, fartypants.
