The labor dept. jobs were paying more than most here, which was extra depressing at the time.

We totally do! 

I’m so sorry; having to deal with a number of pet passings in succession can knock the stuffing out of you (I lost 3 in the span of 6 weeks, a few years ago).

I love skincare! For a new skincare routine you want to start simple and build on it as you find what works & what you like. For dry, “older” skin--

super late post here but

I know that kind of stress, way too well, and I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that.

Oh, how sad. I’m so glad the vet could come to your house so she could be there in her loved space.

Ugh. And I think you’re right about your misgivings--Friend may have meant well but it sounds like he’s promising more than he can deliver.

Honestly, your company deserves her and does NOT deserve you. 

I don’t trust this country’s ability to eat itself to work for it. especially after the last four years. I miss pot though.

Thank you! I’m definitely overwhelmed but trying to slow down and breathe. Always grateful for the reminder that it's needed. 

I had one of those “don’t talk to anyone without me” managers. After awhile I got sick of it and resigned and the whole organization backed me. She had a meltdown because she “wasn’t supported” and ended up resigning too. They asked me to rescind my resignation and then gave me her job.

Damn, girl, I’m sorry to hear that. Last time I was on unemployment (a few years ago), it was just such a pain in the ass trying to get straight answers from people that I actually looked at the state’s job board to see if they were hiring. I was so angry I was like fuck these assholes I will get a job there and turn…

I wrote last week about my cat and knowing when to say good-bye. She had a rapid decline in the days after I posted so the answer was very apparent. So on Wednesdsy we had a vet come to the house and we let her go in peace. I am very sad and constantly hear/feel her in the house.

Look who passed his test! Who else has good news to share from this week?

WTF? I get a lot of people are still out of work and all but after a year of clusterfuck, they still can’t get their shit together enough to even answer the phone? Of course not...what am I thinking? So many places you still can’t make an appt. to get vaccinated...nice job, America.

Write a nice letter to the executive supervisor (on stationary, not email) that says basically “It has come to my attention that “so-and-so” may be leaving the company soon and her position may be open. Before you post this position openly, please allow me to submit my resume and this letter of interest in that…

Guess who’s still a broke bitch because unemployment is broken again and nobody answers anything in this state??

I had lunch with the directors and fellow crew people of a play that’s coming up in October (it’s gonna be super tech-intense, and the director is enthusiastic about his vision, so we’re getting a jump on it).

I work in an incredibly toxic organization and my boss is the icing on the shit cake. This week I got in trouble for “undermining” her when I questioned a task she wanted me to do (our executive director had said something conflicting) and for defending an idea I presented which she turned down right away assuring my…
