P.S.

I would, however, like to thank The Powers That Be for giving me such understanding, sympathetic friends. Friends who sit me down in their cubes and force me to eat Hershey's Kisses while telling me that things could be much worse and give me financial advice. Friends who ask me if I have enough money to cover gas this week. Friends who say things like, "Yeah, you're in a hole, but you're working your way out, and you'll come out on top." Friends who tolerate my dorky, whiney, I-have-fallen-into-genteel-poverty-ala-Scarlett O'Hara-stresses without complaint. My friends are the best.
