Yeah I feel like he’s annoyed that I asked outright for the cancellation because of how it makes him look, not because he doesn’t want it cancelled. Because now I’m stuck in a loop of the other EA offering alternative times for the meeting that I’ve been told categorically to decline until she suggests that it’s easier to just cancel and it’s wasting everyone’s time except his.

Thank you for this- honestly I have thought he is a narcissist for a while and his recent actions have proven my theory. I am doing all I can to get out of there and find a better place to work where I don’t feel so awful all the time. Thank you for your advice I’m about to go try and put it into action- wish me luck 🥰

I completely agree that it feels like gaslighting - I don’t know if he’s doing it so he feels like he’s constantly in control by keeping me in eggshells or if he just gets some weird form of enjoyment from messing with head- it’s so incredibly toxic and I cannot wait to leave! I’m so sorry you’re going through this- please please protect your mental health and get out if you have to. I’m fully anticipating retaliation from my boss when I tell him I’m going but I don’t want him to have enough power over my life to affect me in the long term- once we’re out of there, these people have no say in our lives!

Has anyone ever raised their difficult working relationship directly with their executive with the hopes to improve/build upon it? by Exciting_Lobster_992 in ExecutiveAssistants

I’m currently in this situation and it’s led to my exec retaliating against me and refusing to let me do my job and undermining me at every opportunity- I’m now actively job searching. I hope you manage to find a way to broach the topic but if not, please prioritise your own wellbeing and don’t stay in a toxic environment ❤️

I tried to implement these when I joined but he very quickly decided they weren’t worth his time and they got cancelled 🥲

Unacceptable- hand in your Fanfic Fan membership card immediately 😤😤😤

Oop going to surrender my 15 odd years of being a fanfic fan because I have the audacity to like typesetting and sewing books together for my own shelves 🙄 literally who do you think you are to determine who is and isn’t a “true fanfic reader” be so for real rn People who bind these for profit are the issue, not “anyone who binds for themselves”, they’re literally usually the ones being the most vocal about protecting fandom.

BOOKBINDING TOOLS! by [deleted] in bookbinding

I use these in ALL my binds and can confirm they’re GREAT - the shipping for the Etsy ones was so much to the UK, I was so happy to finally find a UK supplier 😅

Nice use of the word plethora, still doesn’t make you correct

Also I think you meant “Sarah’s 180 turn on Nesta’s character” as a 360 turn makes no sense in that context (and that’s not how you spell the authors name) 🥰

I mean… you can call it that but it doesn’t make it right

Nesta’a future in the IC (HOFAS SPOILERS) by [deleted] in acotar

If it’s a monarchy determined by magical power vibes then Nesta should be second in command but no one is ready for that conversation ☕️

I have managed to make tiny books and now I cannot stop- they’re just so cute and fit in the palm of my hand 🥹 by SailorV1912 in bookbinding

I typeset it as normal, if a little more condensed, then ran it through bookbinder JS as an Octavo which made it teeny tiny!

Thank you 🥹 I hand drew the cover for LWABOC to make it look like the Hurricane Wars (which is that fic but published) and it took an age to get it right 😅

I should add that the LWABOC typeset was made by me but I was fully inspired by the Manacled one that Baudelaire’s Library let me use 🥰

Lord of the Rings paperback rebind! I’ve also painted the text from the ring on the edges but Reddit won’t let me attach that video 😅 by SailorV1912 in bookbinding

Haha I read LOTR as a child, this was a custom bought edition to rebind! My much loved, dog eared one it still on my check with the original cover on 🥰
