Ain't communication grand?
 Seriously, it sounds like your boss is expecting you to break the news he doesn't want to break. What an idiot. And Mythos, I hope you survived. Apparently the father of a friend of mine always said that whatever you do, you mustn't die before you get your retirement money - after all you've been working all your life for it.  __________________________ You are a Farrier. You enjoy nothing more than seeing a well-fitted hoof. Just because it's an animal doesn't mean it can't have a touch of style. Try this pump; here's a stilletto; my, did you see the calves on that pony? Size 6? Oh, madame, really! Still, there are so many hooves, and so little time, and you often miss out on the fun (and the better meme results.) __________________________ "Truth! Justice! Freedom! ...

Although, to give him the benefit of the doubt, knowing this particular teacher, he probably did tell him - sent him a letter or something because this teacher was out of the country all summer - and he didn't bother to read it. This particular teacher is not too capable of keeping up on his end of the communication bargain.

Dear Ex-Minion,
If you had to quit, couldn't you have found a better time to do it? Had to wait until I took time off for the wedding, huh? Sheesh. -Jocelyn |

I'm stopping in to get a signature. That is it. You will NOT waste my time with your paranoid ego-driven, coke-fueled hysterics.

Mortgage company. I don't blame him for being scared...it's a scary time for his industry. But his fear is overriding his logic.
Oh, and he never signed the damn contract, BTW. Oy. *sigh* **** “Chives?†“Yes, m’lud?†“Is that Ms Ephemera hovering over the croquet lawn?†“Indeed m’lud. She’s marshalled all the haggle-dans.

Wow - I never had that. It seems I've got the most boring job in the world. __________________________ You are a Farrier. You enjoy nothing more than seeing a well-fitted hoof.

dude, do not say that until the you're at a museum and the database goes down. There are only so many Gantt charts and cups of tea you can make! I am not qualified to do anything else, so I have had THE most boring couple of days. But it's back now!
Honestly, we have the worst computers in the world. Our system *grinds* along, and we're so far from the server (on the other side of York) that everything takes ages. I waited a full five minutes for Outlook to open today. AND NO ONE HAD EMAILED ME. Wow, I was not intending an on-topic post but look what happened! ____________________________________________________ tiny ball of rage. hilarious, condensed rage - Snazz I never really lost my virginity... it just sort of eventually wore off - Chris Addison Um...

here Member  |
My new agency contacted my current agency on August 22 requesting a release date. This is a very straight-forward thing - the new agency requests a certain date, and the losing agency either agrees or disagrees.
The date my new agency requested is September 13. A week from Friday. And my current agency hasn't responded yet. Considering that I cannot make arrangements for my in-processing until the date is agreed to, the delay is not acceptable. If this delays our move, I will be very, very upset... **** Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves. Henry David Thoreau **** |

I think I said it succinctly enough this morning: "This isn't what I was meant to do."
Unfortunately, I was in the shower when I said it. **** “Chives?†“Yes, m’lud?†“Is that Ms Ephemera hovering over the croquet lawn?†“Indeed m’lud. She’s marshalled all the haggle-dans.
