I'm not dead (but my poor astrobotany plant is!)
I've been busy, and I'm feeling pretty content. I left my job at the non-profit I was working for. I don't want to dwell on why, but I do want to write out a quick summary.
So tl;dr my boss [1] ordered my coworkers not to ask me about my work for four months, and she told me about that standing order six months into my employment. My coworkers were allowed to speak to me about my job for two months before they had to cut it out per management. In total I worked there for about ten months and was under a cone of silence for 40% of that. I got hit with a disciplinary meeting (and I was late to work a lot), where the guy who recommended the job to me told me:
I'm not on your team.
He wasn't, not in orgchart or in spirit. He was an exec, not a lowly ops peon, and I shouldn't have gone to him for support.

So I quit. Generously, I gave them three weeks notice. I found a new (temp till October) job just around the corner from my house. I'm walking to work each morning, which is wonderful in the spring. I hope to move soon, and I'm saving money for the future. Still looking for the person to spend the rest of my life with.
C'est la vie!
