Help! For some reason I can't get Allison's follow up post to come up! I really am interested in how she handled all that BS and hope I can learn from it.

Can some one reply to the original post and make it to Shar or something? So then I can read her post as it was responded to.

Thank you!
Shar

> You go girl! I hope you're very proud of yourself for handling the situation so admirably. I second Phil's thoughts. ALWAYS remember to look out for your best interests. The company is only looking out for theirs. It's a really good idea to keep your boss informed of all the good stuff going on in your area. Can you e-mail her with updates as they occur? This will also help to document all the good stuff you're doing.

I made the owners a lot of money but knew nothing about 'taking care of myself'. One of those areas of self-care, which I'm still working on, is putting some 'go to hell' money in the bank.
