Did it specifically say you couldn't file a complaint with the Board of Dentistry or just that you couldn't sue? Those are two different things and at least in Florida a dentist couldn't prevent someone from reporting to the Board of Dentistry.
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

Art Crawl!!!
They had the first part of the auction of the horses belonging to the woman who stole billions of dollars from Dixon, IL. The live auction is this weekend - this woman owned 100s of horses.
100s.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, Steph. At least you have good new folks now.
I was just listening to the Aisha Tyler interview with Nathan Fillion and he spent time in my ancestral home of Trois Rivieres, Quebec! In a government program to get kids outside of Quebec speaking French.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, yeah, that requires some nuclear bitching.
I was just given a ... very professional come to Jesus talk about my platform and my project. My manager has been sitting on an issue since February that my boss just heard about from the CIO, and he's FURIOUS. Uh, I reported it in February up my chain of command? And I repeatedly don't think it's appropriate to go over her head? (Once I asked the CIO a question without clearing it with my boss, and he went pretty nuclear on me then...) I don't always know where to step.
But he was calmly furious. It wasn't like the time he yelled at me. But we have a serious application defect, and I've been begging and borrowing developers to work on it for half a year, and it's still not fixed. If I'm not officially assigned resources, there's very little I can do. Politely, I defended the few developers that pretended to work on it, but the current developer is telling me how little they did...
I don't even know who to believe right now. My ass isn't on the line, but my rep is.

OMG, my fucking cable. Now it's not showing anything and the best she could do was suggest I go to their office in the morning to get a new box. I hate my cable!

Sheesh, ita. Sounds like you're in a no-win situation.
And I just realized if I get a new cable box, I will lose all of the movies I have carefully been taping off the HBO for when I cancel it! Boooo.
Edit: And of course I un- and re-plugged it and that made it work...for now.

Who doesn't hate you if you escalate over them? I'm under instruction to be all business with the users that escalated, but nah. That's not how I work. I'm not going to do them favours or stuff, but I'm a sympathetic ear, I take them seriously, and I agitate in their favour over IT's, because no one else will. I consider that my job responsibility as a Business Systems Analyst. To be the avatar for the business when talking to IT, and the avatar for IT when talking to the business, but using the same language as everyone else in the room.
