Chiming in with the "QUIT THEM NOW, TEPPY" chorus. "Dear organizer person, I must resign the volunteer position of library coordinator, effective Sept. 15th. Best of luck in finding a replacement volunteer."
You don't owe her any reasons or explanations, just notice that you're not going to be doing this thing any more.
I have coworkers I actually have to tell "I cannot do this right now. You need to go away." And I get paid for that.
Same here, and it's great!
God, my back is totally spasming over the past couple days' frustrations. Swimming helps, but I'm not swimming right now!
Folks learn really quick that I say exactly what I mean. I do figure out who needs a softer delivery and who just needs the blunt, but ...
C&P Anne's post and send it.
In unexpectedly delightful news, my faux-son did the majority of the work cleaning out the storage shed. He's refused to take anything but gratitude for this, and I'm not arguing. This is his way of honoring Hubby.
We had an old filing cabinet in the shed, and there were various Magic cards. I figured they were pretty worthless as they weren't from the early sets. I just came home to find the check faux-son got for selling those cards. $1500. Blink.
Practicality says dump it all in savings. Whimsy says "Found money! Do something fun!" Debate has decided $1000 into savings. And I'm going to go buy a couple of yarn toys I've been mulling. And maybe an expensive skein of yarn or two. And the rest of that in the cash stash.
So the most recent email said "Call me at 10 p.m. and I can talk you through it."
Come over at 10pm and pick up the books.
I APPLIED FOR A JOB!
It's middle salary point is more than $15K less than what I make now, but I have to get out of there.
Connie, seriously NICE and kudos to faux son for taking it on and delivering.
Msbelle, just remember to negotiate hardball, no matter how much you want out. No one else knows that. Know what your budget and lifestyle can take (hell, you probably know a helluva lot better than I do mine) and the promotion path.
It is for a job with a school district in the district offices.
Yay for the nice windfall, Connie!
And go you, msbelle, for getting an application in. Also what sarameg said.
