Jesus, Cass - that is a total nightmare. Your poor sister. Those poor kids! Holy shit. I'm so, so sorry.
I am a large, semi-muscular man. I can take it. Don't hide behind Mal 'cause you know he'll shoot it down for you. Tell me.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
It's so hard, Cass. Words cannot express how much I wish your family could wake up from that nightmare.

It is a nightmare, Cass. Keeping you all in my thoughts and spreading the word as best I can.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Agreed, Cass, that is a nightmare, and I'm sorry you have to be the strong one.

Months ago I sat down with my boss to ask for a raise. It finally came through and is effective this week. 5% is nice, I had asked for more, which my managers supported but HR rejected. I guess there is some company limit.
I'm happy this step is done though in notifying me, my manager forwarded the chain of e-mails with the information from HR and it shows that this all could have been done at the beginning of August, but somewhere along the line the approvals got stuck, as in someone didn't realize their approval was needed, so it sat FOR A MONTH.
Still, still, I have a job I like, good co-workers (in addition to my co-workers at home), and 5% is nothing to share a stick at.

Good news, Suzi!
I did phone screens with two candidates at the end of the day yesterday, and they have both emailed thank-you notes! Many of the young people do not bother anymore, and I really appreciate it.
