I feel bruised

[wendyzski]

Just got off the phone with the free attorney that IDES contracts with. Her name is Lydia. I don't like her. I'm obviously just a number to her. She spent the entire time on speakerphone, and was very short with me when I was unable to hear her. She was also very condescending. "So you're saying that you never confronted them about the ad?" Nevertheless, advice from an annoying person who knows the law is better than no advice at all, so I'll take it.

I have to get my file from unemployment and fax it to her by 3:00 on Monday. Guess where I'm going on Monday morning. Bleh. I still think I have a case, but I just wanna cry now.

*Hugs* Hang in there. You should still have a case. Did by chance you save the phone message that said they had found your replacement? That would be a very strong indicator that the separation was on their part and not yours. *Hugs again*

It wasn't a phone message - I actually talked to her. but I immediately wrote down on my LJ what she said, so at least I have that to refer to.

*HUGS* knowledgable advice from a bitchy lady is better than no advice, true... But that doesn't mean you don't deserve a hug for dealing with all of it.

*HUGS*

Maybe it'll put a smile on your face to know I sold my first CD today... Another is being given to my mother (for her birthday) tonight, and a third is already sold tomorrow. At the rate we're going, I may be asking you for another batch... *smile*

Thanx. I needed that.

John pimped...er..'sold' 8 CDs at his family reunion.
And I have a dozen specially prepared for our new marketing campaing - "Music On A Stick!" I hot-glued them to tongue-depressors which have "Minstrosity - Music on Stick" written on them. Unfortunately, they peel off the shrink-wrap if you shake them too hard, but they will stay long enough for the joke. After all, Rennies will buy ANYTHING on a stick...

Really???

Would you, being a rennie, buy a Topher on a stick? Think on it.

(((big big warm understanding hugs and love)))

I love you. I'd have felt the same way. IMHO, there was *no* way to confront them on the job posting online; they'd have probably canned you on the spot to avoid answering the question and the lies they told you about your job not being in jeopardy.

They suck. Big time. sending out prayers and good thoughts...

I figured that in your dealings with gov't agencies etc, you had encountered much the same thing.

I was really rattled after I hung up, especially as she began the call with "We had to call you three times and your phone was busy". Well, I got two calls (including one from Rob) to which I said "Ican'tstayonthelineI'mwaitingforunemploymenttocall
canIcallyoubackafter3?" and Immediately got off the line.

But I went out in the sun to the fabric store, and Nan and Josie are on the way for fittings and pizza, so it will get better.

Lots of huggess for you and rasberrys for the stupid people

[wendyzski.livejournal.com]

Gods I hope she's not stupid. I would hate to have gone though all that and gotten no useful advice out of it.

She is mean, though.

Well she had better be nicer to you.. you have wayy to many friends with nice sharp pointy things who would just LOVE to make a point with her... ;>
Have you considered checking into a regular lawyer?? consultations are usually free and if they thought they could win this case, they might not charge you until you won??? and then just take a percentage of any settlement??
Just thinking out loud here..

{{{{bearhugs}}} mean nasty ladies are probably unhappy in thier own lives and don't get enough, "snuggle time" you know.. enjoy your Rob and the love of all of us, and imagine her all alone eating ice cream or soemthing and crying lol!
{{{more bearhugs}}}
