Still at work - starting hour 3 of OT.
Oh joy.
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
But OT pay, right? At least there's that?

Please tell me they haven't switched you to a salaried position.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
MG, can I point out that you have a tremendous amount of leverage at work right now and you need to insist that they quit dicking you around?
They'd be up shit creek without you. There's nobody else that can step in and do your job. You need to tell the work bosses to sort out the job assignment and get you some assistance and quick.
Do NOT go through the extended stretch you had in the fall without your assistant with no relief in sight. Tell your bosses now that is unacceptable and you are not willing to sacrifice your sanity with umptyjillion hours of overtime.
Listen to me on this. You need to jerk their choke chain and say, "Look I'm valuable to you. Quit taking advantage of my competence and hard work, and give me a reason to stay here. If I quit tomorrow you'd all be in serious trouble. Give me some help here." But politely, and with the threat implied rather than stated.

quester, put a fraud alert on your account at all three credit bureaus:
Do I have to list all of my credit cards?

Nope. They handle all the accounts and any new ones that you apply for.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Do I have to list all of my credit cards?
No. You just need to tell them your name, and maybe SSN, and they ask a bunch of questions about your financial history to make sure you're really you, and the fraud alert gets marked on your credit report.

It's just a phone call to each of the three, quester. They say they talk to each other, but they don't.

I'm getting the pig!
Suzi, please listen to Hec. You already have so much stress going on and your work isn't supposed to add to that stress. Seriously. It's JUST A JOB. I know it's a good job and you can't lose it but you do have some pull right now. Use it if you can, sweetie.
