So......after five years of being subject to tyrannical rule by the inept stoooopid one, I am freed from my boss.

It's been a bit crazy around here trying to get the department up to speed after her most colossal screw up and I am just now finding time to do something other than work, sleep, eat, and play the occasional candy crush game. (Candy Crush is an ass.)
Since the loss of my boss, I have been granted a much better work schedule- 7am to 4pm, and I get to take her place at the SHRM (Society of Human Resource Management) Conference in Chicago next week.

Typically companies don't shell out that kind of money, but my former VP put it in the budget, so there ya go.
I am traveling with my new manager, who is really awesome, with the exception of the fact that she is a lifelong democrat, because her family is democrat.

She's totally stoked about the keynote speaker, and has asked me to attend the speech with her, even though she knows I don't care for this person one iota. Hillary Friggin Clinton.

I knew this was coming, prior to my boss being separated, but dang, it's just now hitting me. 1.5 hours of Hillary Friggin Clinton. Still better than the alternative.
Pray for me.
