    Thanks for the kind words. The thing is, though I hate to risk seeming really, really disagreeable, right now this situation doesn't feel much like a cause for celebration.

You all seem to be suggesting that, at least, my line of thinking is not completely crazy, which is what I wanted to confirm before I went to Susie with this.

    Hello. I hope this doesn't come off as prying into someone else's affairs, but I'm a bit concerned about someone I work with. We're both freelance film crew and as such we don't work together every single day. This is someone I see relatively frequently but there's no corporate structure...
