    From the perspective of age 70 (48 of them spent in Corporate America) I can tell you that if even one-tenth of the things I've agonized over had actually happened I'd either be a bag lady, in jail or dead.

    And, if it's some small comfort, turds like that boss eventually get their just desserts, even when it takes WAAAAAY longer than it should. (Unless you're Larry Ellison, of course.)

    Okay, I've debated with myself whether or not to post this. If you don't get my sick sense of humor, just ignore me. Here goes --

    You wrote before about some jerk in a red pick-up. Well, now you've had to deal with his mother!

    Sorry, I told you it was sick.

    Love it!

    Thank you. You are correct of course!

    @DittoDan I'm an RN with an MHA. Since 2007 I've worked in the Quality/Risk/Clinical Doc. Improvement arena.

    Is this a job where you evaluate hospital practices? Or how can you work for a hospital from afar?

    @DittoDan I typically manage a group of people or am director of a department that analyzes medical records during the inpatient stay to ensure the providers have accurately captured all of the diagnoses with the most accurate specificity and acuity. Most medical records are electronic these days, so yes, the work can be done from afar. In my last role I provided analytics and education for the front line staff.

    Thanks for all the words of encouragement! I wanted to post an update: I start my new job Monday back with my contract company but for another hospital system. I'll still get to work remotely and I'll be making a lot more money than I did at the perm job in Atlanta. Everything does work out, doesn't it? Maybe now I'll stop obsessing over how people can get away with doing things like that. Thanks everyone! This site is such great support in so many ways!!

    The upside of contracting is there is always some work, some where and these days a lot of it is remote. Glad you found something so quickly. As for that person who fired you, she probably hates her job! And that kind of karma has a way of coming back around.

    Next time you're at the Canton Trade Days, have a turkey leg and think of me. They don't have them around here.

    Lovely lady, it couldn't have happened to a more deserving person. I'm happy it all worked out for the better for you.

    They might be of a bit limited use for you, given your field, but it might be worth checking out, since there are often non-tech jobs posted, as well (tech jobs seem to be the bulk of remote work on the dedicated boards, but that's slowly expanding), but I'm a fan of the following sites for remote-friendly and employee-centric jobs:
