{{Cass}} Not only gravity sucks, sometimes. Ugh. Hope they keep you very, very busy with the freelance stuff.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

[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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Well, that was horribly timed.No, it made me smile. Tickybox is adorable.
I mean, in my fricking life it was pretty badly timed, but it honestly could have been worse soon. That seems all vague and I hate to be like that when I am so grateful for the support here, but I am glad it happened today if it had to happen.
I'm in total shock but yet I knew the company was run by a loon with no financial sense. They paid a fuckload of money to buy me from my agency and there's no way they should have knowing what I know now. I told them that I would do a three- or six- month contract at the beginning. It wasn't like I got any of that fee anyway...
Are they helpful about recommendations/referrals?I walked out with no severance (really, when I say they ran out of money, they are really out of money.) but a hell of a recommendation letter in my hand before I left -- and that impresses me. They want me to freelance when they have work and pie-in-the-sky want me to come back when they have business back on track. I don't think it will happen, but it's nice of them.
I am feeling a little zen about it at this second. Of course, taquitos are in front of me as well as a beer, so that could be helping.
By tomorrow, I need to figure out the filing for unemployment thing and by Wednesday, I need to get out of my jammies. These are my goals right now. As well as calling my agent-y woman and telling her to find me a new damn job and fast.
Oh, and I took my dragon with me when I left. He can wear my glasses here now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cass, that is so very horrible. But I hope it turns around and bounces right back for you.

Bright side, Cass. You no longer have to put up with JackAss Cow-irkers fuckups. Still, may the unemployment office have a very short line and not test your patience!

Sounds like a plan Cass.

Still, may the unemployment office have a very short line and not test your patience!I'm going to be greedy and hope they are online. I don't want to deal with people, as opposed to electrons, just yet.
My now former boss did say that if she ever lost it and beat JackAssDave to death with a fork, she'd invite me and we'd make a date of it. Also dress him up like a an oompa loompa. It was like the severance package that they didn't pay me...

You'd think with all the over-billing they'd be swimming in cash.
