Oh, Amy! Suck. Good luck.
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Shit, Amy! Bad ex-bosses, you suck.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Sorry, Amy--but hope it's a first step to a much better job.

I'm sorry Amy. I hope something much, much better comes up.

Because books.
For now, she's claiming I can make the same income working as a contract writer for them. Which seems to contradict the whole "slashing budgets" issue, but whatever.
I'm just confused about whether I file for unemployment or what. I'm assuming not, since I'll be making too much money from writing. (I mean, I hope.) Right?

Amy, better to file and not need it than to count on income you don't get!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm sorry, Amy. Good luck!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Oh, Amy, that sucks balls. I'm sorry.
Also, if NY is like OH for unemployment, go ahead and file. If you don't work in a given week (or work less than whatever your weekly unemployment payment would be), then you receive a payment. If you don't work at all in a given week, you receive the full payment, and if you do work, but less than full time, then the payment is the difference between what you earned and what your unemployment payment would have been. (Like, if you weekly benefit is $400, and you work enough to earn $300, then your payment is $100.)
That's how Ohio does it, so check your state's unemployment website to see how they do it.

Amy, that sucks. And it sounds like what happened with my dad. Yeah, he got hired back on as a contractor on the same exact project, and for same or maybe even better pay, but he had to provide his own health insurance (not right away, I don't think). So after cobra ran out he was paying out the nose for it. I think what it comes down to us that on one particular budget line, they are now spending less. They are spending more in other areas , but that's not what's important to making the books look good.
