So today is my 8-year anniversary where I work

[flex]

And today was the very first day I asked for a hug from a couple of my female co-workers.  It's been an extremely stressful couple months for me.  One of my groups may strike, and even if they don't strike, my company may sue the Employer.  This is such a unique case that it could ultimately go to the Supreme Court, though it's a little too early to say that.

BUT...because I received hugs and I was able to unload on them, I fell MUCH BETTER NOW!  Whew.  It's true: confession is good for the soul (hot)
