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

I'm sorry, flea.

And msbelle. I have been in a similar workplace environment and getting away from it was really good for me. I would hope that seeing your anger would make them rethink their attitudes, but from what you've said about how they undervalue your work in general I kinda doubt that.

Sorry to hear about the job, flea. I vote that you become an infamous hacker that exposes government corruption around the world.

Either that or some sort of librarian superhero??

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, I finally got notified that I did not get that job, the one I interviewed for in September.

Booooo.

All from the attitude in the office this morning. To say that I am vibrating with rage would not be wrong.

Ugh! It sounds like it probably is time for you to move on regardless.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sorry, flea. And boooo, msbelle. They don't deserve you.

Also, was Feral Boy part of the Civic-Minded Five, or am I misremembering?

He certainly was!

I would die without my broiler! I use it all the time.

Sorry, flea. That is sucky news to have half a year to receive. Of course they are completely wrong and I personally would hire you for just about anything except chauffeur.

msbelle, I would like to grant you the power of laser eyes today so you can singe their eyebrows with your rage.

ION, we did an investor pitch last week and it looks like we're going to get money to try to finish our deal. Because we are out here starving while the bigass companies take their sweet time about doing what they do.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I'm sorry, flea. That sucks.

Thanks for the love for my kid's sign. It was DW's call to do that one. Here it is for those not on FB: [link]

I love how the major theme of the first two episodes of Yuri!!! on Ice is "OMG there are TWO people named YURI!"

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Also, was Feral Boy part of the Civic-Minded Five, or am I misremembering?

He certainly was!

Awwww YEAH.

I am happy to report that the person they hired has a much better resume than mine - she was the librarian at the American Academy in Rome. I don't know her, and I have no idea why she wants to move to Cincinnati, but she's probably pretty good.

jeeeesus christ, just discovered that our bank's bill payment has been sending things a day or two late. As in, a day or two after the due date.
