Having a contract for next year is amazing news so congrats to that!!!

Even when I can pinpoint something as situationally triggered, that doesn't seem to make it any easier to cope with in my opinion. Particularly when it's in response to something someone said... which is awful that this person did that!! You both still have a job, that's the important thing. I know how awful it feels when someone gets into your head like that over a thoughtless comment.
