Looks like I'm going to Annapolis for July 4 weekend. There are beaches there. Also probably tons of people, but beaches.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Jesus, Stephanie. I think I'd be throwing up at the thought of going back to work there.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Stephanie, I think there would have to be some major changes in how things are handled in the office for you to be comfortable staying. A lot depends on how dedicated you are, and how tough you're willing to be about some things.
I wish you all luck, however you choose to move ahead.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
{{{Stephanie}}} that is a shitty situation. I would have a hard time staying if I was in your place. I'm so glad you're at least getting the recognition you deserve from the clients.

Trust my rage
I got a lot of great suggestions on DW/LJ today and they were all very helpful at how to frame this conversation that I know we will be having tomorrow.
But at the same time, I feel like I'm speaking another language. I got an email back form my boss saying that he was glad that the receptionist had written this email, that it was my schedule that was causing problems in the office, that we all decide things together, that of course everyone knows how much I make because they were consulted when I was hired, and that he think discussing this sort of thing in group wide emails is actually helpful. It's like bizarro-world.

That's just ... huh? Group-wide emails seem like possibly the least helpful way to discuss things like that.

Maybe he's friends with your adviser.

That sounds like a fraught situation, Stephanie. I hope you can find a good resolution for it.

I am really sorry that you like the work so much, because I think he runs his office very poorly.
One thing though - you mentioned that it would look weird on a resume to only be somewhere for 3 months. There are ways around that. Since J seems to be framing it as "trial basis", you can feel fine listing your services during this period as that of being a paid consultant.

Can I just say I want like, EVERYTHING from this store?? Of course, I want it to be about a quarter of the price, and my body to magically be waif-thin, so as to look good in most of the clothes, but...damn. So fucking awesome looking. Page after page after page of awesome. And they don't even come in my SIZE--the biggest size seems to be a UK14/US10?!? WTF?
