Well, my feeling is that if it's the kind of place that wouldn't accept his personal beliefs as sufficient, he wouldn't be happy working there.

Dana, how frustrating. At least it wasn't anything to do with the previous employment. Better luck with the next one.
Connie, Dude is really on a shoestring, there.
Sockfeet in the bathroom, squish.
So, I got my CPAP machine yesterday, went to set it up last night, and there's no hose. Bah. Bad night's sleep, again. Called the supply store this morning. Dude was like, did you look in the back of the zip case? I said Huh? I went and opened a zipper I swear was not there last night, and magically there was the hose. I apologized to the dude for doubting them. Dammit, I could've been sleeping last night, theoretically. I'm so tired. Even coffee can't wake me up anymore. Braaaaaaiiiins

I'm sorry about the job, Dana.

Dear Department Supervisor, Fuck you. Fuck your scolding little passive-aggro messages, fuck your little smiley faces, fuck your arrogant assumption that you're better at this job than I am even though I have 10 years seniority on you and you act like you're in high school. You know what, I'm sorry I said your wife wasn't doing a good job at editing 14 years ago (you should not have been your wife's supervisor while she was my temp, btw, wtf), but you could probably let go of that grudge now. Thank Sekhmet I don't have to work for you directly, you asshole.
Thank you, Borg, for giving me a safe place to vent.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry about the job, Dana.

Oh, wow. My new manager just cheerfully suggested I have a drink. While working. He knows I'm pissed off. This relationship may work out okay.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I have a PDF of an edited article that the authors reviewed (they can see tracked changes and any comment balloons with questions) where the authors used the sticky-note function in Acrobat to put a sticky-note that says "Edit is approved by the authors" by EVERY SINGLE CHANGE. Of which there are many. t edit I just checked, and there are 20-25 of these fucking notes on EVERY PAGE.
There is a special place in hell for these people. I have to check the content of every single note in case it has an actual change. Eeeeeeeeevil.

Yeah, exactly. Hope something really great comes along soon!
