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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

I'll ask my roommate, who was off for three months for depression treatment, how she handled queries -- she works at an MIT library, so the social situation is much like Allyson's.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Started off my day with two shots (Hep A and flu), but then there were donuts at the office! So that's nice.
I had scheduled what I thought was a call with someone in New York, but I guess he thought I was there, too, because he emailed suggested we meet at the Bouchon bakery. I would love to meet there! But [sadface] no.
