The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

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.

Wow, sarameg. Just wow.
I hope that the con people will turn out to not be assholes, Jilli. And I"m glad your dad is okay and has eyes on him.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I don't have a plausible explanation for coworkers as to where I have been for a month. Advice?
You were Clooney's wedding planner.
Or... give each person a different story drawn from episodes of Alias.
oooh! Or say "Two words. Duane Barry."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Alien abduction. They can't prove it didn't happen! Seriously, you don't have to say anything more than, "had a medical thing, I'm better now, thanks for asking!" Some people really want more details than they're entitled to, but most people just want to know you're all right.
