This has been a test of the Emerging Financial System.

Your regularly scheduled Chicago Jo reading has recently been interrupted by discussion of job situations and the impending decisions that had to be made. Some listing of good points and bad points took place. Some stories of confusing circumstances were detailed. Some talk of aggravation and anticipation stress was described.

Yet you continued to read. And you continued to comment. And you continued to check in on a daily basis to see how things were going with Chicago Jo.

You all are saints for putting up with stories that didn�t detail her dancing like an asinine ape, stealing various dairy products from strangers, or how she figured out the great caper of why her towels always seemed to have a lot of cat hair on them. (She recently caught Hambone sleeping in her linen closet on one of the top shelves where the Downy-fresh towels rest before wrapping themselves on her wet, naked body.)

Your cooperation has been appreciated.

And now that Chicago Jo has once again joined the ranks of the employed, I now return you to your regularly scheduled entries. �
