I think really bad bosses leave you with a form of PTSD.

That makes a whole lot of sense. I keep telling myself that the old rules don't apply, but there are times when I feel like the veteran who dives under a table when a car backfires (do cars still backfire?)

Let me swatch the reds when I get home. Remind me tomorrow-ish.

We're deplaning and getting the next plane. Maybe Portland by midnight.

Blargh. I hope you make it home sooner than that, Cass.

it creates a false hope that he'll come around and change his mind. He might not.

Oh, yeah, I think that hope is going to creep around the back of my head for a while. Letting it go is going to take time. Thanks for calling me out on it.

Saw it, Erin, thanks. I get paid tomorrow and I do think I'll be buying some cookie dough.

Man, me too. I've been really fortunate with bosses overall, but the last job was a major exception. I still get twitchy about boss issues.

Oh UGH. I am very sorry.

Ugh, that sucks. Sorry.

But thanks for the red recs, Cass. I keep eyeing that Manic Panic Vampire Red. Just might fit the bill. It's awful pretty.

Oh and smonster, I didn't mean to call you out so much as I recognized the kind of thing I'd do, that I have done when I was in your place. Held out hope for way too many years with one guy, but I'm an idiot that way. Really it's a good thing I met my DH, I was hopelessly bad at dating.

A propos of nothing, there are times I really wished I lived closer to more of y'all.

Amen, Anne.
