And Shir, I'm sending all the ~ma in the world to you to help you resolve this situation in a way that brings you peace, sweetie. I've had the same thing happen to me, but fortunately (or unfortunately, perhaps) I shut down when people press me like this person is doing to you. Just make myself completely emotionally and physically unavailable. Which is in all likelihood extremely cruel, but it seems to be my psyche's way of protecting itself.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Fay, I really hope your nosy neighbor decides to mind his own business.
Can someone smite T's boss for me? He's being a pain about her taking time off for doctor appointments after her having had a stroke.

I wish I was. I have half a mind to get on a plane to TX just to chew him out. She does not need extra stress right now.

Just let the boss know that a good employee isn't a dead employee.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Stroke? And giving shit about seeing doctors?? Seriously? There has to be some ADA law that covers that, no?

Seriously. Somebody tell me it's the worst prank ever.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Damn. I can think of a billion sarcastic things to say....
