    Apologies

    Hey folks,

    Sorry for being a bit silent the last couple of weeks in terms of replies - aside from kobolds. I had a whole series of some really bad news and unfortunate events.

    The culmination of these is that I no longer have a job and I have a funeral that I never expected to need to have to go through, on Thursday. I may be seeking legal action for wrongful dismissal against the company so that will be another thing, but right now -

    I'm looking at getting back into writing. Please let me know if I owe responses.

    List I have:

    Flamebird - Friend of a friend
    Yvonne - Existence
    *admin at your service*

    Matriarch of the Gilded Lily and of its brothels, associated establishments and the army.

    Characters:
    The family triplet: Philomel, Vaeron and Celandine.
    The god and kenku triplet: Stare, Avin and Vixen.
    The Primordials: Professor Charles and Moros.

    We've been talking a fair bit, so I know what's happening, but you know where I am if you need me.

    Regarding your employment law issue - part of what I do is employment law. If you want me to help you out, fire me a text.

    Condolences from me to you dear. They say these things happen in threes. I hope not, that's a lot to deal with all together.

    I think you deserve better than unfair dismissal, and if you follow through on legal action I'm confident it will go well for you. Stick it to the man Phi!

    Funerals are hard. Remember that it's okay to have a good cry, but I understand it may not even feel real until the day.

    We love ye and appreciate everything ye do for us Philomel. *hugs*

    So I’m cutting that branch off the cherry tree.
    Singing this will be my victory.
    Then I, I see them coming after me.
    And they’re following me across the sea.
    And now they’re stinging my friends and my family.
    And I, I don’t know why this is happening.

    By the way, don't let anyone fob you off with "you can't go for unfair dismissal as your service was too low". You can go for this under certain circumstances and I believe you have a case to "do a Shin" and start cutting people's hands off

    Girl, real life always comes first, even when we don't necessarily want it to. You handle that and don't worry about anything else beyond as a way of getting rid of stress.

    And the only reason I would say not to go for a wrongful dismissal case would be a cost/benefit ratio, namely will going for the case do you more harm (reputation with other potential employers, or fees involved) than you would get out of it if you won. If you get more than you risk, rain some hellfire on their heads.

    The funeral was today.

    Today was a time of meeting up with friends and reconnecting with those I have not seen in years. Today was a day of hugging a family I used to be close to. Today was a day of revelations - finding out that nobody knew Trina was down, had depression or had any way to prepare for such a death.

    On Sunday 15th April a friend of mine took her own life. For two years from the age of 12 to 14 she was my only friend. She was funny, witty, had a great heart and became a strong member of our close friendship group. She was also an amazing geek, loving beyond anything the glory that is Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

    For the job, I'm not sure what I am going to do. I'm working out exactly what I want from it. The main thing is that I know now those friends I saw today and fell out of contact with before, I am now going to keep. Because friends are so important.
