Bonny- that dream was amazing, thank you for sharing! Made me cry a little. Possibly because my hormones are already wonked, but also because it's such a lovely, healing metaphor. There's a lot to be said for the unflagging devotion of a canine companion. Sometimes I'm a little sad that early experiences scared me off dogs for life. But I bed my cats would be down with eating some debt cake for me, should the need ever arise.

Erin, the metaphor is resonating in my heart...over and over again. I believe I can actually feel the healing.

By extension, I'm having a Sleepy Hollow/Sin Eater experience. Somehow, the dream seems to have confirmed for me, for once and for all, that I can really let go of the sins of the past. I have no more use for them.

My hormones are wonky too. I cry every time I see Bartleby's face in that dream. I was so, incredibly fortunate to have him in my life. He never hesitated to be what I needed.

Pix and ND, what wonderful news. It is such an amazing thing that you never gave up, no matter how hard it was to slog through that bureaucratic hell. Bravo. The relief and good support you are finding now were hard-won and well-deserved.

Shirtless guy in kilt #32 is in Albannach, if I'm not mistaken. Thanks, Vortex.

Oh my, what a way to start the day. Bless you, Vortex.

I do l love Amy Freed's writing.

She is a favorite of mine, despite DE poor directing abilities with her shows. I really do need to see a production of hers, directed by someone else.

Okay, so, work shenanigans. Having heard nothing from my coworkers, I reached out to E. The email I got back basically said that I'm slow, lazy, and do poor work. I continue to be excluded from communications. E and M met with Sam yesterday, and I got an email from him setting up a 1 on 1 meeting Tuesday night. Had a very cathartic and helpful discussion today with my brunch buddies, and will be spending time this afternoon to craft an outline of my strengths, past contributions, and possible role within the company. If I get let go or resign, I will very likely have work with my mentor that could eventually turn into full time.

As I said on fb, another fucking growth opportunity and time to go into Battlecat mode.

Ugh, smonster. That is really frustrating. I'm sorry that people are being so doucheweasely.

smonster, oh I am sorry. I am glad however that you seem to have worked out a Plan b. What a frustrating situation.

How disappointing that you have to go into Battlecat mode, but whatever it takes. You really need to be where you are appreciated.

smonster, that sucks. Glad you have a plan b, but damn. I'm sorry!
