That's fantastic news, Tep, but I'm afraid I still hate all their guts for jerking you around in such a shitbaggy way over the last couple of months.
I am JZ in this.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I guess I'm a better worker than they thought, huh?
More likely they finally realized that they were full of shit. Or that Mean!Boss had been jerking their chain about your supposed ineffectiveness.

Well you should have, because she probably never head that joke before.
Yes, and I've never heard Gilligan's Island references; gingerbread and ginger ale jokes; or jokes about doing something "gingerly." Now that I think of it, though, Gingerly would be a decent name for a blog.
Teppy, I'm glad you're going to get the pay back, but you are still working for crazy people. Buffistas need to be freed from crazy bosses.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Oh, I'm happy for you Teppy - but I join in the hate of those people for treating you that way.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
(I always thought the wrongest thing about this - besides the whole wrongity wrong wrong of their perspective in general - was making a four-day work week something for you to stress about and suffer for, rather than celebrate. Because that should be a good thing, you know?)
Oh, well do I know. (And yes, I'm going to 4 10-hour days, although I don't think that the company as a whole is going to stay at 10-hour days for a whole lot longer; at least half the office really dislikes the long days and wants to go back to 5 8-hour days. It's possible the PTB will open the office 5 days and then let whoever wants to keep doing 10-hour days do so, as long as their department is always covered. Anyway, if we switch back, I'm a 5 8-hour day woman all the way. 10 hours is too fucking long.)
That's fantastic news, Tep, but I'm afraid I still hate all their guts for jerking you around in such a shitbaggy way over the last couple of months.

As am I. I think that (possibly) they may have realized that they mis-judged my performance back in the day, given that it's only been 2 goddamn months and I'm suddenly A+ girl again.
Whatev. Just gimme my full-time paycheck and back off, you know?

Hurrah, Teppy!
Don't you dare stop keeping records, though.

Oh HELL NO. Not one bit. (Though I might back off of the obsessive monitoring of my time down to the minute. Which I really was doing, and if my lunch hour was really 62 minutes, I worked until 5:02 and marked it in my records.)

I loved 4 10s, because it meant a week with one fewer morning and one fewer commute. I don't actually hit my stride until about 3 anyway.

That's great news, Tep. I still hate their shitbaggy ways.
