You're sick in that way sick? I'm sorry. :ghug3
The job situation sound stickier and stickier.
This sounds like "The Job Who Left You For Another Woman".
In this case, and it's really hard to say this, but most situations like these never get better and I would just move on.
Cherish it as an invaluable experience and use it to your advantage. Get your former boss on your side to vouch for you for your second job. Alot of people lose their dream jobs and have to resort to smaller ones that are unchallenging and just plain suck. But then they get an even better job after that, or find something else that their totally into.
I'm so sorry, I can understand how it must feel to be part of something so big and then not be recognized. You must be feeling really betrayed and used, and it doesn't sound like there's anything that can be done about it now.
So, why don't we find job for you! What do you like to do?
(And please let me know if I'm coming off the wrong way or anything).
