Yeah, signed or not isn't likely to be relevant.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Just to give another point of data on PIPs. I was placed on one the first year I was with Donlen/GM. Got through it, and 7 1/2 years later, I was running the division. It doesn't always mean the kiss of death. The people that mattered realized that my manager at the time was a micromanaging control freak. I wasn't blameless, but they also knew it wasn't entirely my fault.

That's my mascara! I'm a weeper and it's been hiding that from the world around me for years.

So, I've been having this more or less constant low to mid grade anxiety ever since I found out I didn't get the Beverly Hills job. I have even woken up at like 4 in the morning almost every night this week. I was really hoping for some financial stability . I can't handle the stress of freelance any more.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Wish there was more I could do to help.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Sean, snuggles and purrs and whatever would really be of comfort to you.

Sean, I'm sorry. I wish I had more than that.

Jilli,
can you NOT sign it? What happens if you don't?

Sean, I'm very sorry. I would give you soothing hairpats and distract you with ridiculous stories if I were nearby.

I don't know. I'm going to ask one of the HR minions that tomorrow. But Plei, because she is queen of research, found me a bunch of good links on writing rebuttals. Even better, she found me links with info and sample language for including a disclaimer that essentially says, "my signature on this document is an acknowledgment that I've read it, NOT that I agree with it or accept it." So that should get me enough time for the other team to pull me over. I hope. Unless Umbridge and HR just terminate me because it's an at-will employment state.
Weirdly, I'm not freaked out about all of this. It is going to work out and be okay.. Don't know how, but it will.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
oh! I like the rebuttal idea.
