ION, I found the most perfect fic summary ever: "That time Tony gave Bucky a therapy llama."
The story's hysterical. I'll put the link in the fic thread.
Jayne: Well... I don't like the idea of someone hearin' what I'm thinkin'. Inara: No one likes the idea of hearing what you're thinking.

Allyson, I'd say Pam from Archer would be a good inspiration for possible explanations.

OMG Scrappy I love you. (Also I love Til Tuesday.)
Good luck with the interview, Jessica!
We had a barbecue today and they ate all my salad up! Which is good for my ego.
I couldn't play volleyball because (a) my hand-eye coordination is still completely fubar after my ear surgery; and (b) I have always been terrible at volleyball.
So I sat and drank a beer and chatted with people. And then went home early and crashed out for an hour. Yikes. Beer at midday always knocks me out.

staggers into thread, falls over
Sanity~ma, please? Don't set people on fire ~ma? Because of the sudden excitement of Dad going to the ER this morning, I texted the guest relations person for the con I was scheduled to be at this weekend and told them I had a family emergency, and was not going to be able to attend. I was very sorry, but ... family emergency.
The response:
"Hi Jillian, I'm so sorry to hear that and we wish you and your family the best. But we will have to discuss the breach of contract when you're able to."
I did sign a contract with them. I just reread it, and there is NOTHING in there about penalties for breach of contract or being unable to attend due to emergencies. Nothing about any financial re-compensation to the convention or for plane tickets, or anything else like that. May I have someone else set them on fire?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Life would be so much simpler if people just weren't jerks whenever they had the opportunity.

I'll deal with them on Monday, and if they get pushy, I'll point out that annoying me could result in a LOT of negative press for them in the gothic/lolita/alt fashion world.

Reply with copy of contract. And a cc to your lawyer.
I'm so burnt out. Part of it has been the schedule the past few months. Part of it is utter demoralization. Got a copy of the ppt presentation the CSC division head gave. In the slides that were never gotten to-we derailed him less than a quarter in for a complete verbal insurrection- was one touting all our accomplishments. That they shop around. Which included work I'd done, but only attributed to a more senior person. She was furious on my behalf. And for all that, effective pay cut for every.single.person they'd commended. Really? REALLY. You had the nerve.. Just, fuck everything, really. I started laughing so hard I was crying and freaked out officemate.
I need to let go, I've done what I can with regards to making my rage known, AURA knows. If they don't make a change, I either need to accept or find a new job.
