Yeah me too Allyson. man.

Update: I held it together mostly b/c my dean will not take no for an answer. She now offered me an entire yr off next year, the possibility of a boatload of research $$ and to leave my dept. WTF.

I like her a lot but I need to go. This isn't about $$. Emotionally I need closure and space.

Didn't you already accept another job, too, le_nubian?

Jesus, le nubian. That is a hard sell. But you are leaving.

Don't even front, because you know I'm friends with your cousin on fb and that is not what the post said. Lord, I did a triple-take.

Ahahaha! I forgot.

oh, this meeting, I hate you so. why am I not at The Avengers?

OK, now I want to know what it REALLY said!

Also, le n, is she even in a position to guarantee some of that stuff? But yeah, stay strong. Sometimes change is what you need.

You must be so proud, Jesse!

Although I can't be the only one who wants smonster to spill the beans and tell us what the post really said. I'm guessing something along the lines of "Looks like we have another Cowgirl Jesse in the family!"

Oh le n, that is a super tempting offer, but even a year off doesn't help if the atmosphere is still toxic when you return.

Hey, Simon Pegg just tweeted me! He was talking about the ST shoot and I said "My friend Andy is propmaster--hope he's treating you right. If not, lemme know and I'll put the screws on him!" He tweeted me back "He just handed me my communicator."

So, Simon Pegg is CLEARLY my new BFF.

What it actually says: "We're not allowed to call her "M---" anymore. Her name is Jesse the Cowgirl (just like Jesse H---, her cousin, so she says!)."

So, Simon Pegg is my new BFF.

Nice!
