Oh, shit, smonster. I'm so sorry. How scary, and how frustrating, after you've poured so much of yourself into this job.
And, like everyone else, I vote NOLA.

[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.

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

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm sorry, smonster. Not a good day.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So sorry, smonster! I do think this might be NOLA using the universe to whisper come hither in your ear.

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?
{{{smonster}}} I agree with everyone else that this is the Universe's push towards the Big Easy.
{{FredPete}} All kinds of ~ma for you and hubs and Victor.

Seska, you'll be pleased to know that I'm having a nice cuppa of Welsh tea.
Welsh tea is nearly as good as Yorkshire tea. I hope it's helping.

{{{smonster}}} I'm sorry. I know how hard you have worked in that job. Tons of New Orleans style job~ma for you.
{{{FredPete}}} You're not doing anything wrong. I'm so sorry.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Funnily enough, I just talked to a friend in the NOLA office, and none of them got laid off b/c they're crazy busy. And when he told the boss down there that I'd been laid off, his reply was that it was a shame because he liked me and they need someone to start up their trainee program. But honestly, I might be well shut of the shadiness and toxicity. Also, the CEO is currently on vacation. NICE.

Compassionately intolerant
Also, the CEO is currently on vacation. NICE.
Now, that's class.
smonster, hon, a big hug to ya, first off. Total sympathy for how, even when you want to leave like the place gives you a rash, having the hammer fall is shocking and painful. Though, I too want to thing the Universe is telling you something good here.
If the boss in NOLA could provide you with a bridge until you settle in there, I say take it. You will do good for them, even if the only good they do for you is a paycheck.
Fredpete, I'm so, so sorry for the sadness and stress in your life. May the very best solution and comforts come to Victor as quickly as possible.
