Who's persecuting who now?

I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions on this one. I'm feeling snarky and the commenting would probably be well...snarky.

The More Things Change....

The more they remain the same I guess.
So, much to my dismay things didn't work out like I planned at the new job. They "love me, and think I do a good job" but there's no money to hire me. So, come August I would be out of a job.
I was sharing this news with Doug and he mentioned that the old job might be looking and maybe I could get back with them. I scoffed and said that I doubted that they'd want me back and pay me what I wanted. However, I looked into it. Needless to say...I started back there today. Trying to get into the swing of things, but it seems like there won't be too sharp of a learning curve. However, I'm trying to treat it like it's all new so I don't getting any unrealistic expectations. Hopefully, they'll do the same, but since I'm already on the project plan...We'll see how it turns out.
Wish me luck. I should mention I did get more money, though not as much as I had hoped. But it is 100% remote so that will help.
