Absolutely agreed. But this position wasn't created because they couldn't find another position for her ... she was already there. Just as she's proud for the first time because her husband is running for president, or whatever she said she has a position created for her because of who she married, did any of the posters who defended her by saying that they too had positions created for them because of their spouses/partners???? Didn't think so.

There was a position created for me at Piper Aircraft when I was in high school because I was dating the bosses son In hindsight, I think he did because he wanted to make sure I was too busy working to be parked on the beach with his son.

Congrats! I applaud you! One of my closet friends of 18 years is a recovering addict and she amazes daily. Picked herself up after her parents abused her and put herself thru college has a great career and wonderful family. She and I volunteer together at the women's shelter for our own reasons. It makes me realize how lucky I am to have parents who support me when I saw her struggle. I hope you realize how proud you should be for what you have achieved.
