Well I talked to the CEO on Monday for 2 hours! It was only a 1/2 hour appointment. It was a really good talk, and made me feel a bit better. I started by warning him that I was going to bitch for a while, and then I had a solution to propose. He took the bitching pretty well, and apologized sincerely, and told me that they definitely did not want me to quit, and explained the thinking at various points in the process, and his theory on how it all went south.
He had one issue with my proposal, but thought I had some good points. He tried to talk me into the original job they offered my last Monday, and he made it sound a lot more appealing than my boss did when he presented it. So, I'm looking at that again, and thinking about how we might change it to suit the situation and me better.
So, things are looking better. Man, if they *had* been trying to get me to quit, this would have been the way to do it. I packed up my stuff on Wednesday and took half of it home.
I'm still having a hard time functioning. I'm shaking all the time. It's so hard to go through all of this with my brain wanting to just crawl under the covers for a week. I have an appointment with my pdoc on Thursday, and my T says we can do an extra phone appointment if I need to. I'm going to take her up on it. I just hope I don't completely fall apart and sabotage whatever chance I have now to end up with a decent job.
