If you have a second to click…(part 2, the finals!)
« on: July 26, 2006, 11:34:58 am »
The  “My Bad Boss Contest” finals start today at 12:00 noon EST (about 30 minutes from now!)

This is the contest that my dear friend entered, and our votes a few weeks ago got her through to the semifinals!

http://www.workingamerica.org/badboss/?appState=listStories&ord=featured .

Her story is "A Dying Mother Is No Excuse" by Selfish Employee, and she's just a wonderful lady, and she's had a very tough year. If anyone ever deserved to win a vacation, it's this dear friend.

I'm voting every day, but I could sure use some help again!

(by the way...voting ends 08/10/2006, and you can vote once per day...)

55 votes, already ahead by 22.  :)
Her finely-touched spirit had still its fine issues, though they were not widely visible. Her full nature, like that river of which Cyrus broke the strength, spent itself in channels which had no great name on the earth. But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.

I was just going to let it drop off the page, as I really don't want to be a nuisance...and there's still 12 more days to the freakin' contest.  Overkill, if you ask me...but I sure appreciate the help.)
