Mutatio, I love your way with words. The next time H strikes up a conversation (he has been bringing up the strangest things too, I think he googles trivia and tries to use random facts as an ice breaker?) I am going to think "he might be trying but I ain't buying." Seriously, just to have that little nugget from Mutatio will be enough to lift my spirits when the time comes.

Also I noticed that when I do speak to H lately, my words are much more direct, decisive and non-emotional. When you only get a chance at maybe one or two comments a week you learn to make those the most effective as possible. I am wondering if that skill is what helped me with my job interviews.

Thanks for your support M, I won't initiate. I will keep a PMA and I will think of you, in your corner of the world going through the same exact trials. If you can do it, I can do it.
