Christmas money. That's too funny. Everyone here knows you'll do the right thing. And nobody would begrudge you should you need to fix the car, buy food etc. while you're getting through this. A lawsuit can bring on a lot of stress which doesn't exactly help when looking for a job. I really think the good reverend is cut from the same cloth as Sharpton so you've got your hands full.
You relax, handle this lawsuit and I bet when it's all over you'll be back to work again.
