megan, I'm sorry to hear that.
Sophia, fire her ass. Sometimes you shouldn't be avoidant.
JZ, apply. Also, avoid porn at work.
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
msbelle, are those people aware of the unemployment rate?

Also, avoid porn at work.
I really can't, although this week has been light on the porn so far. I think it's well established that I'm no prude, but I had to look at waaay too many naked people last week.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
oh, megan. Those people suck and are stupid.
Sophia, fire her ass. Sometimes you shouldn't be avoidant.
Couldn't agree with this more. And, she needs to learn you can't "work" like that and keep a job. Now, while she's a student, will be easier to deal with.
JZ, apply! And, while I know you have the ability to do the porn at work, that may be best to avoid.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Sophia, lots of places I've worked have had a policy that a certain number of no-shows constituted a voluntary quit. Might be worth looking into. Then if she does show up you can just be all "oh, sorry, thought you quit, can't help you."
