in and out for as long as it takes.
When you come out, smile all around at those around you as though nothing has happened.
A heart for you!

than walking away from job, or causing undoable damage to her employment, etc.
Are new employment regs in place already?
Unions are a good thing in this instance, but unfortunately, fewer jobs are protected by unions anymore.

I do not like crossword puzzles as a rule, H.S.German language drills ruined them fo me; when I get the brain spins from my anxiety, I have gone online and done English language X word puzzles. I think cuz I don't like it but I''ll do it , it pulls me&my brain into the thought/memory/intellect part of my physical brain. You got anything like this? Soduko anagrams, math puzzles?

I've been there. Most days my job was okay, but others...omg I wanted to slap people.

Hang in there. The hours will pass.
