Getting shaved seems like it would be cool.
IOON, a picture I just shared on Facebook reminds me of another reason to be pissed off about Clarence Thomas -- his interracial marriage would have been illegal 50 years ago.
Oh, look at the pretties!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh, Consuela, what a bunch of tools they are. But I agree that you should not resign--you deserve unemployment.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Sadly, just not going back into the office would be unprofessional. I have projects & clients that I can't just leave hanging.
Wait, what? They've told you you're fired and they expect you to keep working? It's your company that's left your clients hanging, not you! It's their responsibility to put the pieces back together.

Can you dump it all on your nemesis's lap and then take out a freakin' billboard offering your consultant services right outside the offices of clients you actually like, she asks sweetly.

We are all shifty, vengeful people.
I love us.

Consuela,
I think you need to do what you feel is your obligation to clients and those who might be in a position to hire you in the future. Anything else you should feel no obligation to: including the needs of your current employer beyond the absolute minimum. Didn't you barely get an extension of your contract anyway?
Is it feasible for you to work there until you are officially let go? Some of you are made of stronger stuff than me: I couldn't emotionally deal with wanting to murder the fuckers every day. I'd need to bail as soon as I felt it professionally viable to do so.

I didn't get fired. My contract is up at the end of April, roughly; what happened today is that I found out I wasn't going to be hired into a full-time position. I just told my boss my last day will be April 10.
And both the hiring manager & my boss claim that I wasn't as competitive as the person they chose, because the position was revised so much. No one will be managing the program I've been running for six years.

Oh, Consuela! I'm afraid they're unclass acts all the way through and through. I'd set something on fire in your honor, if it would help in any way.

Seriously, I look forward to hearing about all the phone calls you get after you leave, when they realize that NO ONE, including the person they hired, knows how to do your job.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Leave voice mails and emails with each one, that you are no longer affiliated, and refer each and every one to your Nemisis, clear your desk and walk out the door. Tender your resignation by email. They're the unprofessional ones, they're assholes, they've treated you shamefully throughout the process despite your spirit of giving them the benefit of the doubt, and the sooner you're shed of them the better. Don't spare another thought for them. And realistically, your clients and projects are no longer your responsibility--you haven't abandoned them, they've been forcibly taken from you. Run far, run fast, don't look back. You're well out of an environment that's been toxic for a while.
