Oh deer loward Kristin. I know anger at that sort of treatment used to make me cry in impotent rage. Now I think I'd just lack the requisite social control to keep from confronting the bitch on her own turf. Dude, what part of "voluntary" do you not understand. "Contractual next year"? That's next year. This year? Still voluntary, and I informed you weeks ago of my inability to go. I'm sorry your circumstances have changed, but mine have not. Step. Off.
Fired? Probably. Which is why I send you boatloads of sympathy and all the new job~ma in the *world*. Taking that sort of abuse is not part of the job description.
Damn, pix, that sucks.
Fingers crossed that all the timing works out, Hil!
Weird that I've heard about the flooding in Nashville here and on facebook, but notreally on the media. Hrmph.
...there was someone else to pet or congratulate, but I forget. Sorry. On my phone.
Kate, I'm sorry I jumped in without saying how sorry I am for what you and other Nashville peeps are going through. You have every right to be upset.
Glad to hear about Hil's interviews and Max's progress.
Just got home. After bursting into tears twice at work today, I decided it was okay to leave after my last class.

It would be interesting to see the wording of a contract that required more hours in a week than an employee is paid for.
So sorry about the job situation Pix.
Sorry about Nashville too.
I haven't expressed my horror and sympathy for Nashville and the folks who are dealing with the flooding first hand, or who have friends and family there. Restored utilities and normality wished to everybody, as swiftly as possible.
Gah, Kristin, I'm sending lots of new-and-awesome-job-ma your way.
ION, earlier today I wrote "PC" (no quotes) on my hand, obviously because I needed to remember something. Only now I can't remember what "PC" stands for. It's not Polter-Cow, because I would have hyphenated it, even on my hand. It's not computer-related. And beyond that, I got nothing.
Oof, Kristin, that is a completely ridiculous and supremely frustrating situation. I'm so sorry you have to deal with that bullshit!
And thanks for all the hugs, everyone. I just signed up to volunteer with a local relief org, which at least helps me feel like I'm doing something positive.

I have no perspective on it, and it's obviously all over the news here, so I don't know how bad it is in comparison to typical media-getting events. But it sure seems pretty awful from here.

I appreciate that.
Maybe you need to buy a new PC? You want to read some Patricia Cornwell? You have to remember to be politically correct?
