Flights of Fancy...A,B,C

For just about twelve years I have tried to explain Rome to the uninitiated. No success. It is not the only city in the world, but it is for me. I seem to be bound up in a a recurring dream sequence where the good part is getting on a plane...and the bad part is getting back on! I dream, I hope and I wish I could explain.

On the other hand returning frequently involves something like this...

It is really this simple. I have a contract with "A", "A" has a contract with"B". And, of course "B" has one with "C". I work for "C", report to "B" and get paid from "C". "B" is a separate division of "A". "C" is it's own entity. Me? I am an """"Independent""" contractor. I have looked up independent and not found a single word that aptly represents what my situation actually is. 

Most of you understand that I recently returned from a prolonged trip. And, most of you know why. So this is what I returned to.

My contract with "A" is valid. However, my prolonged visit violated a proviso of "B's" "policy"...not to be found in any documents. Therefor, while I can still work for "A" under "B''s" umbrella, I can not work for "C". Every one's hands are tied. And the only way I discovered any of this was by asking someone at "C". 

This will pass. But, in the meantime my life is disrupted, my spirits dimmed, my economics skewed and my time wasted. Even my future plans are affected. Why? Part of it..."This is Florida!!!" This will pass, but it is a prime example of what I expect upon return. 

I have hopes for next week, hopefully a good resolution. Onward!
