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.
You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

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.

Ooh! Mobile babies, a whole new level of excitement around the home! Just wait until she starts pulling herself up on the bookshelves and getting into Daddy's precious collectible toys.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Teppy, Owen and I met DH for lunch at Skyline. It was gooooood.
Yum. Suddenly my tuna sandwich is less appealing.
But you see, Tep, I have very little money. And laws are murky things here - basically backhanders are what get you anywhere. Everyone wants their baksheesh.
I can't see myself suing him.
Well, you said you were seeing another lawyer tomorrow, yes? I think you should, at the very least, tell the lawyer that Evil Boss has said that he will not pay you the salary due you for 2 months of work that you already worked (those first 2 months). Cause that ain't right.
