What does New!Employer have to say about all this, Fay?
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Fay, I am so sorry for the situation you're in. I hope this is all just an unpleasant memory in a very short time.

Fay, The Evil Boss had plenty of time and opportunity to correct the contract you signed to include the Evil Clause Limiting Employment. He never did that, and it would work against him in any legal action. As for ticking off that box, I remember it as being only indicative of your intention, but not binding. If he'd presented you with a new contract after that with only half the pay you wouldn't have been bound to sign it, would you? Stay strong, and try to make him communicate in paper with you.
ION, I got out of bed this morning and went to my second-ever spin class. I now feel virtuous because I exercised. On the down side, I'm also hungry enough to eat the ass out of a bear because I exercised.

Ann, that's a ferret.
IIRC, in the U.S. (so your applicable law may differ), Contracts of Adhesion (known in English as take-it-or-leave-it contracts) are usually interpreted more strictly against the person who drafted the contract.
Which would be a point in Fay's favor, if this were happening in the U.S.

I'm eating banana chips right now. That's a healthy snack, right? In spite of the vegetable oil, sugar and honey that are added?
Crap. The people I did the volunteer project for don't know how to convert my Microsoft spreadsheet to excel. I don't have excel, but they should be able to convert the spreadsheet I sent them. Feh.
