There's no reason to feel humiliated, Katie B. You stood your ground when many people would have just rolled over. You should feel proud.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

Spike's Bitches 29: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

I'm getting the pig!
Woo hoo, SA! Very impressive.
My friend J offered to run to the grocery store for me. I keep cutting down the list, 'cause I feel like I'm imposing.
Hon, she offered to help so perhaps you could let her decide what is imposing and what isn't... Maybe send her both lists (the original and the pared down) and let her know that it's totally up to her which one she does.
Katie, love, that fucking sucks and I'm very sorry you had to go through it. {{{{katie}}}

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
What Ginger done said.
AND you should get the booze and ice cream. And then some sex.

Mostly lurking...
Oh, Katie, that SUCKS. I'm so sorry.
I just had some Wendy's. I couldn't finish it. YAY! Maybe my regular appetite is returning.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, KatieBee, I am so sorry the hearing didn't go well.
I am a bit bewildered about what actually happened to make the hearing necessary, as I am a big old skipper and skimmer, but it sounds like you got a raw deal. I fope the humiliated feeling passes, as you have not earned it.

Herding cats for fun
Well, I'm not sorry that I stood up for myself. (pats self on back) That was worthwhile and far better than quietly rolling over and turning the other cheek. I just didn't get the desired outcome where evil was punished and I received payment for all the hours I worked. Reckon I will have to be satisfied with having caused inconvenience.
Paging DH: Booty call! Shiny disco ball.
Oh, and, importantly: Thank You, Buffistas, for having helped make things feel a little better.

KB, I hope your former employer develops a painful rash in an inconvient place.
vw, I'm glad your real appetite seems to be coming back -- may other good things follow.
ION, my face is going to explode if the snot monster convention in my sinuses doesn't end soon. Blerg, I say, BLERG!

Always Anti-fascist!
I do not have anyone's motivations this time. I think mine is off someplace being a tramp or something, in fact. My dad loved that Pimpernel quote so much that he said it for, like, months. If he had had a tagline, it would have been it.Very like my dad not to notice when something stops being cute to everyone else, but, in retrospect, I feel close to him for that.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Trudes! you are not alone! From the Washington Post "Animal Watch" (calls to animal control ... kind like billytea's version of the police blotter):
"Investigating a call about a large opossum on top of a fence in an alley 'scaring people,' an animal control officer caught the opossum and released it in a wooded location."
