[Magdalen] Please pray.

I'm a hair's breadth away from quitting my job.  I do have options for seeking protection within the system, but the system tends to be stacked against those considered to be slackers (I am not), such that even if some sort of victory (employee relations / union) can be garnered, with a "department" that's financially independent from the rest of the County there's really nothing that can be done to stop the powers that are in said department from restructuring to such an extent that my job would simply all of a sudden not be there.  I have Everett's support if I find myself needing to quit, and I would have the momentary relief of being free from my misery.  But I'd still, after a few days of the "time of ashes", need to find a rabbit to pull out of my hat.  I guess I'm finally feeling the "live by faith" phenomenon.  I just wish I was convinced that God exists.  For those of you that are, I thank you in advance.
