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.
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's beginning to hit me now, which is a shame, since I'd have preferred to make it to krav and get some endorphins into my system first.
I promised myself to not net-jobhunt until tomorrow, but I can't really relax so I might as well. I feel like a total n00b, not someone who did this in bulk four years ago.
If a job opening that is the closest thing to right you've seen so far asks for two management references, do you sling off your resume without them? I don't even know about getting two references--my previous (har) employers don't give any, and my other job had just the one manager. I could try and track down my the manager at my previous (ouch) gig who got fired way before I did, but it's not something I can bank on.
Ah, fuck it. I'm putting a line in saying contact me for more info. If I'm that good a fit, they will. If I'm a bad enough fit because or despite that, then they'll just be one more person I never hear back from.
Man, I really wanted to make it to exercise before the headache started worsening.

Won't hug you ita. I'd punch somebody for you, but that is probably something you'd rather do yourself.

Shit. I'm sorry, ita.
This may be useless, since I haven't the faintest idea what you do besides "magic computery things," but my brother's company appears to be looking for a software engineer. They're out in Redlands, though. But I know they do telecommuting.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
"References available on request" is a perfectly acceptable thing. And now you should go hit people.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh fuckity, ita. Not good news.

What kind of severance are you getting, ita?
