Some overheard at work in meme form between coworker (we'll call him Luke*), me, and The Powers That Be (we'll call them Satan.)

*Names changed to protect the innocent

Luke to me:

Satan to coworker:

Coworker tells me he's made yet another plea for them to make me stay...

I explain that contrary to popular belief no matter what they felt I wouldn't be required to stay.  There is no legal indenture applying to me...

He chooses to ignore my delightful joke about indentured servitude...

I then try to get him to focus on training and going over some practical stuff that he needs to know

While thinking...

But helpfully pointing out in an uncharacteristically maternal manner...

and explaining that if he doesn't know what to do just ask a series of basic troubleshooting questions...

and if no joy then escalate...

I even threw in some advice about dealing with end users...

and a little coaching about how I approach embracing new challenges...

Only four more days ...until I get this crap via text and personal email rather than in person at work.

Delightful! Tech support kitty, LOL!

In case it wasn't clear Buffy, you tell a story via memes like nobody else. That's what I found delightful. Your former workplace was anything but. They took assholery to a new level, no compassion whatsoever shown toward you or your son. Enjoy your new job!

      The worst case of this was at Anne Franks house 2 years ago. Everyone respectfully murmurs - same as in a library. A group of high school aged children were running through the rooms and watching stuff on mobile phones with the volume on. Not one teacher said anything. They were there! 
      A few visitors did have a word with them. Things didn’t improve though. 

      The most tense place I have ever been is a Holocaust Museum where several people were being disrespectful and a brawl broke out right next to me. This was maybe the 3rd HM we have visited. I told my husband that’s enough. No more of those. I know what happened and have seen enough.

      Whatever the results were for the recent scan...if it was showing the cancer shrinking to nothing, they'd be shouting the good news from the rooftops, right? 

      My recent experiences with MRI were that the results were read by the radiologist and posted in the patient portal within a day or two and I assume other scans would be equally speedy. 

      Shalom posted an Instragram story: "Microbiom[e] plays a role in healing from cancer"

      @Columbia, thanks for digging up that account! I remember that depressing saga as if it had happened yesterday. IMO, Bradrick! has many, many miles to go before he's able to redeem himself.

      Today she is in cargo type pants that are form fitting with her shirt tucked in. She doesn’t look obviously pregnant.

      Kelly was supposed to be the shining example of how stay-at-home-daughterhood was the perfect prescription for a young woman to seamlessly move into courtship, marriage and motherhood. She spoke at one of the VF Father-Daughter Retreats, she wrote articles for Vision Forum, the magazine carried a book she wrote about her grandfather in WW2, she had a big section in Return of the Daughters (starts around 26:60.) Their wedding was a huge event, and Doug Phillips made a big deal out of seeing their first kiss at the altar (I believe this indescribably weird photo came from that wedding.) I've always thought this was a good overview of her life within Vision Forum.

      I don't think so. They ran their own little "family ministry" on the side and frequented the conference circuit. One of the daughters also wrote occasionally for Vision Forum.

      Isn’t the infamous Wide Stance photo from this wedding, too? That one still makes me laugh til I can’t breathe!
