"...it helps not to be hopelessly attached to one's job," under ANY circumstances, I would like to add. Excellent point, Susan.? After a few years on the job here at CalArts, while on a trip half way around the world, I had a dream about bizarre, awful circumstances at work that ended with me marching into the Dean's office to politely resign.? This powerful image has freed me to take a more professional attitude towards this job, where I've been for 25 years now (and the twenty since that dream have been the most manageable).

I might add --- if one is reduced to dealing with people on this level, it helps not to be hopelessly attached to one's job. Ironically, it sometimes is easier to keep a job if one isn't terrified of losing it. And I'd follow up such a letter by coming in to talk about the issue like a rational person (once the letter has gotten you the director's attention.)? ?
