If anyone needs me...

UW, you may appreciate those who have taken the time to contact you or to express dismay at the situation, but please DON'T TAKE IT OUT ON US. Your anger towards one person should remain focused on that person, and shouldn't come out all over the rest of us who have nothing to do with the situation.

You entered a business arrangement. The arrangement (for whatever reason, not important to your friends) didn't work out. You can call your boss names if you like on the side in private and curse under your breath, but as a friend, I don't want to get in the middle of it.

You have put many people "in the middle of it" even if they had nothing to do with the situation.

Yes, your situation in life changed. Yes, you were having a stressful week. Yes, things blew up when you least wanted them to.

..... and no, none of your friends had anything to do with it. Quit hitting us with a stick, it's not helping anyone out.

Make your peace, say your piece, smoke a piece, whatever it is you need to do. Your friends want to remain you friends, so you have to find some way to put the issues at hand in a box and deal with them in your own way, as two people should.

You also have a PM.
