The Final Embrace

Apparently, I’m worth about $3,000

And even that might be an over-estimate, according to my former employer.

So — today was the day: mediation with my now former employer. It didn’t go well or rather perhaps I should say that when a financial offer was made, it wasn’t met. At all. As in: not even close. My employment attorney had prepared me for this the previous day: “Don’t take it personally and try to be emotionally detached” — well, I tried, and well, I failed — spectacularly so.
