Got my laptop back from the "laptop hospital" after mom spent $250 on it 18 days ago with a new hard drive, opened IE for 2 minutes and then spent the last 2.5 hours removing 145 infected and potentially unwanted files. THAT was fun

The reality is that I will probably never see you again and you will never know what you have done to me which means I won't be the last person it gets done to and the thought of that makes me SICK. If it didn't mean starting over I'd be more likely to jump on that. I know what I'm capable of with NO pressure when I'm treated like a human being. That should be enough, but it's not because of everything you took from me (years worth of time, tens of thousands of dollars that I'll have to pay back, my self-esteem, self-efficacy, and self-worth) You've made me afraid to deal with people. I'm not just going to get that back and you'll never know it's gone. That's aside from the fact that I will never have my dream job.
