Holy shit, ita. I'm speechless. Lots of job~ma is headed your way.
This being an adult thing really sucks sometimes.
You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Job ~ma, ita. May you find something quickly, sign a contract and then postpone your start date for a month or two so you can enjoy the un-scheduled life.

For what it's worth, I've noticed that there are a lot more women doing the IT work for various companies these days. In my last incarnation of serious tech support, about four years ago, people would occasionally be surprised to find a woman helping them. I don't get that anymore. So I guess the struggle has made some progress, sisters.
Now I want to go home and take a nap.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Damn, ita. That utterly sucks. I am both sorrowful and rageful on your behalf, but in a hugless fashion.
I blame shrift, really. She just took all my ex-MI mojo.
Seriously. Is there some universal law that only one ex-MI Buffista at a time can be peacefully and happily employed or something?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man, ita. Good luck.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Damn, ita. That sucks. I hope this turns out to be one of those blessing-in-disguise things. May you get something way better and thumb your nose at your former employers.

Oh god, ita, that's awful news. I'm so sorry.
I'm crossing my fingers for you that you find something better quickly. Which I have faith that you will do since you rock mightily.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Damn, ita. Just....damn.
I do agree with Connie -- maybe you can get a little extra rest in, for the time being.

That's a hell of a Monday Mystery Meeting.
May you find something better soon, with no more need to go alla way out to Simi.
