Did she tell she was having problems with the creepy guy in the next cubicle and that she was going to find a way to have him canned?

HIT IT, LEAVE YOUR CHILDREN ON HER FACE, AND BE DONE WITH IT.
So I'm just about done with this job now. I told my studio manager this morning that this situation isn't working for me anymore, and that I'd stay on as a freelancer for a while if he wants, but that I don't want to be considered for a permanent position, and my future goal is to find a permanent spot at a consumer ad agency (this place is a pharmaceutical agency), which is actually true. He asked me to continue working with this account I'm on for the next two weeks and then we'd have another conversation and figure out where we stand. I think I'll probably be gone at that point, and it wouldn't bother me a bit. This place has suddenly turned very sour for me.
Boy, I'm really sorry to hear about that, Kicky. That just bites the big one. (Did she perhaps just win the Miss Teen America contest?)
I really am sorry. Sometimes, though, things happen that look like they're bad, but they're really just an open door. Maybe these are signs that you should be looking for something else, somewhere else.
And I love your scenario for her.
Hey, kicky, baby,
I just read over your first post again, and I can sorta see where your bosses may have been coming from. That "big launch" project may have required someone with more expertise that Perkie had. Plus, they may have thought Psycho Bitch would eat Perkie alive, whereas you could probably handle her.
Anyway, it sounds like they really heard you when you talked to them this morning, and they don't want to loose you. If you think it's worth it, you could stay for another two weeks and just see if they can come up with something better for you.
On the other hand, you might feel like they've just blown it with you too much for too long, and you'd rather just move on. That's a judgement call only you can make, sweetie. But whatever you decide, you know we're on your side! I'm sure everything will work itself out for the best.
As for the apartment, it sucks, but just let it go. There will be other apartments and other deals. So let the baby have her bottle.
Sorry life's been such a suckfest lately, but I'm glad you can come here and vent. You have friends here! :wink:
Isn't this the way Meg Ryan met Tom Hanks in one of those movies....?
I don't know but how's YOUR love life?
Wow, kicky, it's not even "bad luck." It sounds more senister than satan taking control of your life.
Something is definitely not going well with you, and that's a bummer, because I've always pictured you as a light-hearted, easy going, crazy, new yorker. Gotta go catch a show on tv. The only one I watch.
Okay, so let's assess:
Kicky:
You're not dead.
You are not afflicted with any terminal disease.
Missing a limb or lacking the use thereof of any.
Not deaf.
Not blind.
Not struck speechless.
(I was going to say 'dumb' but then I thought you might get confused.)
You have an apartment so:
don't have to sleep in the subway
or under that tree in the park where I pee most mornings.
You are a clever to the level of adroit,
skilled at your profession,
witty and well-loved by your friends,
both cyber and personal,
and carry on the top of your well-shaped head
a mop of wonderful curliness
to say nothing of how good looking your mug is.
(Where is that god-damned photo file???)
All that has happened is some poor unfortunate has saved you from working in the same place as a shrew and taken possession of an apartment that is probably full of mice as big as shrews.
Take a deep breath.
Go outside and find some sky and take a good look at the full moon.
Howl.
Okay.

I feel your pain Kicky, but I also agree with Joe. There is nothing going on here that you can't change.
I (still) don't think Florida is a good idea, we just move our problems with us. So it will be the same old problems with the addition of hurricanes and humidity.
A one bedroom apartment in the 60's lowered to $1,000 per month? Probably infested with fleas or a neighbor who hordes garbage.
Bedbugs, it probably has bedbugs....
kicky, I was also thinking that so often in our life, things happen for the better. If I had gotten hitched with a woman I was serious with before I met my present wife, I really think life would have been a struggle. With my wife, a lot of good things happened to me, and I'm very happy. Whew!

He still has his hair and he's griping about this?
Poor Kicky. Life's gonna do him in.....
The thing most closely linked to death is life. Have you seen the statistics? There's no avoiding it.
yes,, we dont get to choose when or even if we're born and if we decide to choose the moment of our death... hell awaits... what a great f)cking deal
Well, life is a lot like a roller coaster.
It's built by someone who wasn't good enough to build bridges, it's maintained by someone with a drinking problem supervised by someone who doesn't know **** about mechanics, and it's run by a pimply teenage kid who spends most off his day gawking at tits.
