    well ****

    so you remember that contract I was bitching about a few weeks ago?
    Now they want me to stay for another year.

    turns out miss whatherface has made a huge mess and someone needs to sort it.

    I have half a mind to ask for an increase for putting up with her.

      I never pre-judge. You don't know the circumstances in which she made her decisions and who instructed her to do whatever it was in that way. You could find yourself being the next scapegoat.

        That is the problem.

        But I am no longer arguing with her. She's taking responsibility, and all the fallout is on her.
        I'll just sit back, enjoy the tulip show and bill accordingly.

          You've confirmed you've only got half a mind by even considering not asking for demanding more.

          Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                I always cover myself with carefully worded emails eg. I recommend my way because of X,Y and Z. We can do it your way but the risks are A,B and C. I strongly suggest that you reconsider.

                  Why didn't you?
                  You must be desperate for the work, or this is just bluster.

                    Oh I am doing that.
                    This is about to become very very hilarious.
                    Like the dumbest thing in the history of ever.

                    But as long as I'm billing and getting paid on time, nothing else matters. I'll be listening to her complain when things fall apart from the porch of my farm, drinking my own wine and enjoying the quiet.
