Fireblossom provided helpful hints, such as: Write a poem about getting that pink slip, or slipping down some other slippery slope! and They say, if you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, then you don't understand the situation!
Well, I've seen disasters galore over a longish and too interesting lifetime, but one that happened about 20 years ago still stands out in my mind.

HOLD ON A MINUTE, DWARFS DEAR
workaholics
shouldn’t work so hard
coming in early
and leaving late —
stress and tessure-prension
take their toll...
suddenly you’re flat on your back
unable to move a muscle without pain
and as soon as
your sick days are used up
your employer gets fed up
with your face
and you’re out on your ass
with nothing but pain
no money to pay the mortgage
so you sell your house and
live on the proceeds
until you're a pensioner... THE END

The same to you!! And the guinea pigs send their best regards too:)
Ola is in my lap right now and sends his lovely purrs.
I can definitely relate! Very clever, Kay.
Wow, this doesnt sound like a disaster, it sounds like a recipe for Living Well. Hee hee. You are a clever girl.
"tessure-prension" ha! I like that. Calamitous indeed.
Hope that wasn't a personal plea Kay, seems like you know how to relax, especially will all those holidays.
oh no, too sad. and yet also really freeing
Sounds all too familiar.
The 80s in a nutshell, when people who worked 90 hour weeks were held up as ones to be emulated and admired. I thought it was insane then, and still do.
I got a good laugh out of "Toadal" disaster!
Work until your back breaks and then get thrown onto the rubbish pile... crazy, for sure.
