I was just summoned to my boss’s office for ‘the news.’ He’ll be leaving the company within a month. I can’t say that I blame him, but as the guy who hired me, and someone I professionally believe in and connect with, I hate seeing him go. I’m optimistic, though. He stressed some things to his boss (in regard to my needs, skills and happiness), so I feel taken care of – to an extent. Past that, it’s up to me to make my position into what I want it to be.

I have a small Tupperware container filled with ‘Box tops for Education’ that I’ve removed from each and every box of Hamburger Helper for the past year. I also decided to keep the “Betty Crocker Points." Not sure why. Last night, after whipping up one of my favorite Helper dishes, I decided it was time. I’m sending my .50 cents off for a Betty Crocker Catalog. I’m expecting more of a ski-ball prize-counter selection, including plastic fingers and temporary tattoos. I’d kill for a Helper-Glove-Man keychain. Seriously.

As a Betty Crocker point-collecting, Lohan-listening, single man, it’s hard to believe the hotties aren’t beatin' down my door.
