It’s been a crazy week kids! I gave notice last Friday because I couldn’t stand another moment working for the Toxic Manager who’d been puked up by some Hell Demon and deposited in my office/life. Against all advice to the contrary (except for the GF who wanted me to burn the place down on the way out) and corporate etqiuette, I asked for and got an exit interview. I figured I had nothing to lose. The worst that could happen was that I would never be able to work for them again, which I didn’t plan to do anyway. In a controlled and detached and very professional manner I informed the new director that my boss was abusive, disorganized, unprofessional, and just plain incompetent. Also, she has no idea how the web works and is in charge of building an enormous, dynamic, database-driven web site. The director surprised me by offering me a job, a freelance/consulting gig for considerably more money and an apology. Today she made my boss cry in front of the entire office. I wasn’t there for the big show, but my co-workers nearly carried me out on their shoulders after she left for the day in tears. I’m worried they’re going to pour a cooler of gatorade over my head next week. If the woman hadn’t fucked over almost everyone there (and made more than a few cry themselves), I might feel just a teeny tiny bit bad for her. Karma’s a mean motherfucker. And relentless.

Then I found out that I was accepted to the graduate school in Geography. And my brother sent me irises for throwing together a web page for his business. They were waiting for me when I got home. Life sometimes works out okay. WTF?!
