Dear So and So

[jobob]

Dear Fine Former Employer:

It was one year ago today that you threw me under the bus and "requested" my resignation to placate a surly, incompetent coworker who belonged to a protected group, and to basically make life easier for yourselves. This was after putting me through a wee bit of hell for the preceding half-year or so. You sure saved a bundle on severance pay, I had worked there for over a decade, after all.

I'm very happy to inform you that I'm now doing independent contract work and enjoying it immensely. I don't miss the day to day workplace baloney one little bit, I set my own hours and I'm getting by quite nicely, thankyee kindly. And I have plenty of time to do what I darn well please.

They say living well is the best revenge. Well, I'm living proof of that.

Signed,

Self-employed and glad of it.

Yay, Jobob!! I'm so glad you're in a better place, even if getting there wasn't so pleasant.

Dear co-worker, who used the changing room and showers before me,

please, if you break something made of glass on the tiled floor, make sure you've gotten all the major pieces up off the middle of the floor! Thankfully I have really thick skin on my heels after summer barefooting, which is why I'm not still carrying that shard around with me embedded in my foot. But when I automatically swiped my foot against the other shin to brush the "pebble" off, the ensuing gash and brisk bleeding almost made me miss the meeting I had 7 minutes to catch...

LPH, YIKES!!! that is really creepy!! I'm glad it wasn't worse.

At doc's today; result? MORE tests. They are bright, confident, hopeful. It was good to meet them. D has appointments every day this week. yikes!

Mimi, that's great! So glad you get to meet the good guys

[jobob]

Glad to hear you folks are in good hands, Mimi!

lph: Good grief! Hope you didn't drip blood into that meeting. Although it may have been an interesting conversation starter ...

[lph]

I had to suddenly switch from dress to dark pants, and press surreptitiously on my shin for the first ten minutes... But was saved from actually dribbling blood by the sweet young security guard - new since the bombing and Utøya attacks - at the reception who had an ample first-aid kit.

Do we want to start a seperate "group hug for Mr & Mrs Mimitabby" thread?

I don't mind hovering over Dear So and So either if that's what folks want.

I like that sound of that.

Sounds good about the docs. Appointments every day? Yikes.

Sending you every positive thought, wish, and hug.
