Office/work politics can be the worst. Good luck, Roger.

Thanks.

Did not get fired. There was mayhem, there were bruised egos, there were angry accusations and I'm pretty sure at least one of us shat blood in anger, but the situation is back off the table.  For another 4 weeks or so, hopefully.

My wife and my youngest are fucking off to meet my son in Illinois for 2 weeks. 

I am going to die.

Oh, shit.

Did they leave enough dry food?

I am being trusted with the microwave thingie.  This will not end well.

On the other hand, there's a nearby curry shop with reasonable prices.

As long as they hid the skillet well enough your odds are over 30 %.

Glad at least the meeting didn't result in a shitstorm though!

How do you see this playing out, in the long run?

All I'm thinking is that if this is about being as vindictive as possible, they might want to string this out until December.  Best time to put the boot in, just as Christmas is rolling around.  Hopefully there's an expiry date on this nonsense, but if not...

Glad they got hollered back in line. What did they think was going to happen after the last time you refused to fire her, anyway? Youd miraculously catch a case of the sniveling weasels?

It's a race between my boss retiring and a Nasaki-level shitstorm.  18 months.

And her probation is set to end on December 16th, which is also a year to the day since I started.

They keep upping the intimidation levels.

But I worked with Lily for 8 years, so this is a doddle.

OR I'LL DIE TRYING.

On the other hand, my wife, my kid, and even my dog are gone.  Big empty house.  Everything is awful and I wanna die.   :cry:

Naw, but what DID happen is that I got a whole-leg cramp in my left leg that seems to have damaged muscle around my left knee and ankle.

You know that water chemistry problem I've been working on?  where it basically rains distilled water and there's no alkalinity?  well, I've been drinking that water this whole time and I seem to have washed out my electrolytes.  Took some mag and potassium, and the cramp evaporated.  But not the insanely sore muscles.  So now I'm stumping around like Igor.

Wait, are you saying you've been drinking homeopathic gatorade and it wasn't helping?
