You are in a really good position to get hired somewhere else right away, Tep. Not that it makes it any less stressful or anything, but you've got a leg up on many other job seekers.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

[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.

I think "gibbering, roll-on-the-floor, frothing panic" would be my reaction of choice in your circumstances, Teppy.
I would be curled up in a ball, pleading for laudanum.
Thank you to everyone who reassured me last night. My boss was taking me out for drinks because she was worried about how stressed I have been lately, and wanted to find out what would make me less stressed. Yay!
I have also had three drinks, and am a bit tipsy. I love drinking on the company tab. Here, let me type something without editing: which shoudl be hilarious, but hey, I've been told that at leaste two of the projsect s currently on my shouldrs will be removed, thank goodneass.

It was kind of hilarious. I admitted to being worried, to which she said, "Oh no, I talk to the bad people at the office. Stop feeling like you have to fix everything! That's not your job!"
Swanky cheese and pate! And cocktails with creme de violette!

Two of the hell projects are being taken off my plate! So I can focus on the stuff that I'm good at! I am not used to managers like this.

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.
Jilli you completely deserve to have a manager who does not want you to run yourself into the ground.

I am not used to managers like this.
And yet that's what a manager should do.
