J,

Christ, look at the header. They’re going to treat everyone like individuals, right?

     I’m just grateful I’m working. What’s the real unemployment rate, the numbers they don’t release? 12%, 13%? Pay cuts suck, I know. What else was I supposed to do? I’ve got almost 20 years here. I can’t earn more if I changed careers. Everyone will think I’m too old anyway.

     We moved into that house on Primrose Joanne was eyeing for forever, too. $200 more a month. Ouch. She’s so happy, I totally forget about the extra cost until the bill’s due.

     You were here, what, 6 years? You can certainly change careers and not lose much. Make it up in a few. I know a good union guy in Pittsburgh Pharmaceutical who’d give you a chance.

     The suits say everything's gonna be fair. No more coverage denial. We’re gonna care for people, the way we should be doing... blah, blah, blah. Somebody’s gonna complain about something. But we're gonna be cheaper, more efficient. 

     Of course I respect your decision. It takes balls to start a business in this economy. Especially with all those kids of yours. But what the hell, right? You and Miriam are still young. You can make it work.

     I always thought of you as a first-rate co-worker. I’d work with you anywhere. I just feel safer staying with what I know. Joanne’s relieved for the most part. I have the performance review in Dec., Of course, so I should reclaim some of my pay. Money’s tight, but we’re paying all our bills and got a place to stay and food to eat.

     We both know retirees are going to get first-rate care. Death panels, my ass. Your father will be fine.

     Guess you’ll be saying a lot of those rosaries you do.

J,

I can’t believe you’ve done it. I mean, I was always in favor of you going out and starting a business. You were the smart one of the section. I always thought it’d cost a pay cut to change careers. Yes, only a franchisor, but you’re making the same or slightly better. Good for you. Not much change here. The suits have finally finished the health allotments. Getting the money going to where it's supposed to. 

     Maybe I’ll look into changing careers. I dunno. It’s a dicey economy. Joanne’s working again. That’s something. Glad we’re past having little ones and don’t have to worry about childcare costs.

     Last 6 months have been exhausting. 9 to 10 hours three to four times a week, as a favor to the super. What do I get for thanks? ‘hey, see you tomorrow.’

     Money’s so tight now. Joanna’s busting my balls about looking into that website for mortgage relief. College fund’ll evaporate if I don’t do something.

     Sorry I can’t make this longer, I got flagged for too many emails to my sister.

Joe,

Those suckass bastards screwed me over. Couldn’t give out much in raises b/c they had to keep costs down. I got 1%! 1%!! Can you friggin’ believe that? Back when we were private, I could get 3% for showing up sober every day. They said they didn’t know it’d be that bad. Everyone knows they knew all along. Somehow, their eval period ends after the budget comes out. And they have the balls to give themselves 10% & 11% raises. Not like the private days but be honest for crying out loud! It’s just like before the takeover, maybe worse.

     They gave me a new partner. Guy doesn’t look older than Jeff and knows half as much. A little creepy, too. Always standing behind me.

     Miriam’s pregnant again! Congrats! 3, I can understand, but four! You’re quite a trailblazer. Maybe you can make it 2 boys and 2 girls to balance it out.

     Oh, and those rumors about capping coverage of pregnancy & childbirth -- they’re true, though. But you didn’t hear that from me. Supposed to be announced after the midterms. Of course, all these pinhead suits are having difficulty trying to figure out what the benefit ceiling will be. They’re on a crusade to defuse their population bomb. Yeah, the one that’s been ticking for decades.

Joe,

Miriam heard right. Docked a friggin’ hour’s pay b/c I started emailing a couple of minutes before 5. Some BS about the tone. A lot of frustration here and I like to vent it all out before I go home. Nice for you to be private. You can do say anything you want.

     I told you it was coming. I told you. At least they paid for half the childbirth, right? Don't take this the wrong way, but if your Catholic Church would allow birth control, you wouldn’t have the bill.

     Mortgage relief people are negotiating with the bank. I’m good for my debts, you know that. I just need a little help. If they can get me to my old mortgage payment, life’ll be so much easier.

Joe,

After the relief negotiation fees, I have a sucky $45 knocked off my mortgage. So what if they threaten a lawsuit. The bank knew my situation and gave me a mortgage anyway. Nowhere to go, stuck here, and Jeff’s a stone’s throw from college.

     Yes, yes, you have a right to the family you want. Don't take what I say so personally. I mean, it’s good to have Government looking out for everyone’s best interest, right?

     Sorry to hear about Miriam’s father needing bypass surgery. I heard the doc was good though. Reassigned to your area recently. I forget why.

Mr. Rowley,

From what you’ve told me, your father's HealthBill is correct. I understand you're upset. Especially when it’s your father.

     I didn’t tell Joanna b/c I didn’t want her scaring Miriam with her being pregnant-- again-- but you have to look at things from our point of view. We promised lower costs and we’re going to deliver lower costs. Your father’s not doing anything for the economy. Just sucking up Social Security & Medicare $$$.

     Of course I want him to be healthy again. But everyone dies right?

Mr. Rowley,

No, I'm not being callous. I'm sorry your father died. Yeah, Senator Baldwin is alive after open heart surgery for the same ailment. Of course your father matters. Let's face it, though. A 78 yo senator contributes more than a retired 71 year-old mechanic. 

     Another thing. They finally noticed how much I’ve been busting my ass around here. Old Al Grant finally retired and I’ve got a great chance to get promoted. More money, home life will be stable, and you start sending me crap.

     What is, 300 Norpramin, $22.49; CC: accounts-received@pyunghwai.com? I got pulled in for a two-hour inquisition w/o pay about something I know squat about. Is this some sick joke?

Crackhead,

You’d better friggin’ knock it off. 

     What the hell are you talking about, Delivery Schedule: 1000 Surmontil, New York, $17.87; 1500 Thorazine, San Francisco $32.15; 1350 Prolixin, Milwaukee, $31.66?

And what’s this bullshit CC: accounts-received@pyunghwai.com? I know nothing about any delivery schedule!!

     Internal Ops here is busting my balls here about me selling black market drugs. They said Jeff’s FAFSA depended on cooperation. I am cooperating!!! I’m not going back to line work, but if you don’t knock off this crap, that’s the best thing that’ll happen. They’re scrutinizing me, threatening to put me in prison with all the other wastoids selling black-market drugs. As if I have access to them.

     You know we bought that house on Primrose like a year ago, right, you suckass. Jeff’s a week from college. We can’t live on Joanne’s salary. I’m sorry you lost your father. But according to your mother’s e-account, she’s still in good health.

     Be happy you can feed your crumb crunchers. Not everyone can. I’m not the one to be jealous of. Take it all out on those suits upstairs who sucked you dry for bonuses. You think a Hotmail address will keep you hidden? Don’t count on it. I’m back up to 2 weeks on my vacation. I'll find you and beat your ass.
