[QUOTE="katya02, post: 437446, member: 2884"] Catastrophizing. That's it, that's the word exactly. No matter what silver lining to the cloud I try to point out, there's a bigger disaster to be anticipated and perseverated on. It's some sort of comfort to know that other men do this too, although I'm sorry for anyone else who has to cope with it. And, Star ... don't tempt me, lol! Seriously, taking on a pit bull puppy at this point would be about the best way to be sure I went over the edge. It wouldn't be fair to Olivia. As for the work issue - lots of verbal promises from one of the partners who's known for saying whatever will calm people down, but who doesn't follow through - and even he wouldn't come out and say they'll give me a contract that says they'll cover this. I might have to walk in on their partners' meeting next week and plunk the contract down and say: sign, or you can fill in my shifts for the rest of the month and ever after. Because I'm per diem - they can fire me without notice, and I can go likewise. (Of course, it would backfire on me to do that because no one will hire a doctor without checking with every single place they ever worked ... and these guys would kill me on a recommendation if I walked like that. But it's a nice fantasy ...) [/QUOTE]
