When I picked up my mail yesterday I found an envelope from my company, and my first thought was, "Maybe it's a pink slip!"

(I know pink slips aren't usually mailed to one's home address, but the fact that I was excited and hopeful at the prospect should tell you something about my state of mind.)

I didn't have to tear the envelope open very far before I found a picture of Snoopy.

They were trying to sell me insurance. Good grief.
