It’s
a
wonderful
life!

Life
is
wonderful,
life
is
great!
I
have
a
good
job,
just
got
promoted
to

an
even
better
one.
I
have
a
daughter
who
talks
to
me,
a
husband
that

doesn’t!
Only
joking,
have
a
husband
who
loves
me!
I
have
a
wonderfully

supportive
family,
mum,
dad,
brother,
and
sister.
I’ve
two
brilliant
friends

that
would
do
anything
for
me
and
who
I
love
with
all
my
heart.
I
remem-

ber
telling
you
years
ago
just
before
I
started
my
new
job
at
reception
that

phase
two
of
my
life
was
beginning
.
.
.
well
this
appears
to
be
the
begin-

ning
of
phase
three!
Things
are
looking
up
for
me
and
I
am
so
happy!
I

am
in
a
deliriously
giddy
mood
today,
high
on
the
excitement
of
life
I
sup-

pose!

Cork??

What
do
you
mean
the
bloody
hotel
is
being
built
down
in
Cork?!
And

they
only
tell
you
now?
Are
you
moving
down
to
Cork?
I
thought
you
said
it

was
along
the
coast
of
Dublin?!
Did
they
think
that
piece
of
information
was

irrelevant
to
you?
For
Christ
sake
Rosie,
how
are
you
going
to
drag
your

family
down
to
the
other
side
of
the
country?

love,
rosie

Do
you
even
want
to
move?
Oh
my
god,
I
think
I’m
going
to
have
a

heart
attack!

E-mail
me
back
ASAP!!!

Re:
Cork??

Oh
Ruby,
right
now
I
have
a
headache,
I
don’t
know
what
to
do.
I
know

that
I
want
this
job
but
there
are
two
other
people
to
think
about.
I’ll
have
to

have
a
chat
with
Katie
and
Greg
about
it
tonight.
Pray
for
me!
Please
god
if

you’re
listening
and
not
busy
sprinkling
gold
dust
on
all
the
lucky
people
of

the
world,
please
do
me
this
favor
and
brainwash
my
family
into
thinking
of

what
I
want
for
once.
I
thank
you
for
your
time
and
patience.
You
can
con-

tinue
gold-dust
sprinkling
now.

Hello
Rosie,
this
is
God.
Sorry
to
bring
you
bad
news
but
life
doesn’t

work
like
that.
You
must
be
honest
with
your
family
and
try
to
convince
