Sue, yes. I haven't even gotten to Sybil's death yet. Maybe next episode? Lady Edith just got jilted at the altar. And I'm aghast that the dowager countess is all just "Let him go." WHAT?! That seems implausible.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Hubby really enjoys British period soap operas. He really liked Monarch of the Glen, thought that wasn't really period. I get frustrated with all the drama coming out of left field. Though Tom Baker's stint on Monarch was amusing.

Oh Kat. That show has no internal consistency. Remember how they were trying to marry Mary off to Strallen in S. 1? Now he's too old for Edith?? Two more eps. until Sybil. That wrecked me.

So I have the morning off, waiting for a repairman. And I checked my email--I got an automated notice that indicates I didn't get hired for my own job. Looks like they hired the veteran after all.
I feel like a chump. And really fucking pissed off that none of the people involved could bring themselves to tell me in person.

I feel like a chump.
Let's be clear: they're assholes; you're not a chump.
You're certainly not a chump holding on to a job that you enjoy doing, that pays you well even if the buraucracy around your job status is kerfucked.

Oh my goodness. They all suck dirty stinky donkey balls. I would be so tempted to take a box to gather items and then email a resignation letter effective immediately.

Because books.
Oh, Consuela, that's fucked up. I'm so sorry.
Happy birthday wishes to Noah and Grace, though. And admiring sighs for Allyson's new house. So gorgeous.

Oh, Consuela, that's so terrible! And so badly handled, from start to finish, by your employers. Crappity.
