Amyth, I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope things are better than they appear right now.
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh amyth, I am holding you and your family in my thoughts today. Sending ~ma that your brother has a swift and strong recovery.
And Cash, I will also be thinking of your sister, and hoping for good news soon!

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I hope you find something you like better soon, Zenkitty.

Because books.
All kinds of ~ma for your brother, amyth, and for your sister, Cash.
In other news, I had a Sox at my house for two hours just now and it was Made of Awesome. You should all be very very jealous.

Amyth, you and your family are in my thoughts.
Brenda - call or write pizza ordering person and ask if they have ordered enough for all who responded.
Zenkitty - from my own experience, if you can get out and find a job that fills your needs, run. Run fast. My old job had me crying way too often. I am in love with my new job. I feel so much more human now.
Cash - much baby~ma to your sister.
Just talked with KCD about kid stuff, then he asked me, very seriously, "So, how are you doing"? Eh? Happier cause I don't live with you anymore but I'm kinda lonely and would love some male company? Nope, not going there.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sounds like SUPERGIRL went to a Catherine the Great place.
Zenkitty - Nov 04, 2010 8:43:12 am PDT #3681 of 30001
Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

He's a horse, AND a boyfriend, AND a freaking centaur! Catherine wished she had it that great!
Thanks for the good words, y'all. I just talked to my boss, and after she told me I was making a lot of mistakes lately (I AM NOT) I, um, vented at her a little and she backed off (because she hates confrontation even more than I do) and she offered some helpful suggestions (the best of which was "get someone else to do it"), so I've calmed down a bit today. But I know it isn't going to get any better. I should be looking for another job; I shouldn't convince myself before I even try that nothing could be better. I'm just so tired of it; I can't even think about putting together my resume again, after 11 years, without wanting to, well, cry. I've got to either find a way to deal or find a way out.

And because it deserves a post separate from my whining, amyth, all kinds of ~ma to your brother, and you, and the whole family.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Zen your situation reminds me a bit of Toddson's. A longtime work relationship that has soured over time. It feels untenable going forward but the options aren't great.
I do think you should be conscious that the job market is not only soft, it's particularly unkind to people in their 40s and 50s. (At least that's been my experience and I think Theo could validate that.)
And I'm not really sure that you could get a stay-at-home deal with the salary and benefits you currently have.
I'm not trying to discourage you, but do weigh the bird in the hand for its proper worth.
