Hmmm. Rumors currently running around are that the co-worker who was put on indefinite leave for looking at barebacking porn on the work computer (at a desk that patients walk past, no less) may actually be fired at some non-distant time. I'm sorely tempted to apply. It would be a biggish step up salary-wise, and I'm dead certain that there's not one thing he did on the job that I wouldn't be totally capable of doing. Except the porn.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
C'mon, JZ, I'm sure you're capable of looking at porn. Don't underestimate yourself!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm sorry, megan. And surprised, frankly.
I sort of want to email her and ask her if she would like to quit.
I think I like that, except that it might light a fire under her and get her just motivated to show up but not work any harder.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
megan, I'm sorry to hear that.
Sophia, fire her ass. Sometimes you shouldn't be avoidant.
JZ, apply. Also, avoid porn at work.

Forgot to add, that BITES, megan. What the hell was that giant push for you and that job for the last couple of months (which, IIRC, started from their end) if that's the end of it?
I snarl and growl at their general lameitude.
And, randomly, there's a managing editor position that just posted today at the VA on Clement Street. Just in case you're pissed off enough at the lot of them to consider flouncing off to somewhere else.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Rumors around my workplace (other than the ones I already know about) are that people will be quitting in the next few weeks due to anger over the low bonuses.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
ugh, megan
I am shocked to learn that not only did I sleep through an earthquake this morning, so did my kids. Shocking!
Oh Kat, thank you! I have emailed you my wants. I may go back and add a good blue, but that's because I am clearly CRAZY.

I'm sorry, megan - I hope that some other opportunity presents itself quickly so you can get out from that toxic environment.

msbelle, are those people aware of the unemployment rate?
