What a shit day.

Lady moved in across the street a few months ago. Maybe 35-40, good looking. Two kids, 10 and 14. I waved , said hi as our paths crossed at the mail boxes or taking the garbad to the curb but that's about it. Dad picks up the kids on the weekends I guess as they are are never around. He dropped them off today as I was unloading groceries and took off. 5 minutes later I am dealing with two hysterical kids. She was dead in her bed. I didn't see a pill bottle but I guess the cops found it.

I understand depression from a clinical standpoint. But how do you do that to your kids?

It's easy for us to look at a situation like this and apply logic and rational thinking, but that's not so easy for a person experiencing severe clinical depression.

:(

I hope her kids are okay.
 
Looks like the GB lounge is moderated.

I just posted in VA's thread that I wouldn't consider RobDownSouth aka Queertag because he's a bully and a xenophobe, and my post was instantly deleted.

But I think it's a good thing that it's moderated. Maybe in this way the GB will get a larger influx of new posters.

Yeah, you're really going to have to step up your victim playing and attention seeking game in there. :)
 
Coworker: Wow, you look terrible. Should you be here today?
Me: Are you volunteering to cover X, Y?, and Z?
Coworker: Silence.
Me: That's what I thought. *Get out of my office before I lick your keyboard*
 
I think she is envious of your pretty face. I am sure even unwell you are pretty.

It's Monday - I've got one girl who calls in every Monday until all her PTO is used up and today is no exception. Last week her kid had lice, today she has a headache. A paralegal is always hungover and a complete bitch to ask to do anything. Just easier to come in and do my own shit. But thank you for the compliment.

FYP

I'm laughing at " Just easier to come in and do my own shit." I tried that once, on an off day without pay. Unannounced. Expecting peace and quite. Just to get a mountain of little annoying stuff out of the way. Way too much bs of 'Where's so and so now? Can you show me this and that? Who signs this? etc." Never again. Nope.

In my experience, people who are sick really love being told how sick they look. And especially on Monday mornings.

Take care.

Should have used this around your work area

It's a new look I'm trying called flu-chic. I figured heroin-chic was a thing so why not.

I also love when I have the flu and someone is an absolute dick - just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy about them inside. Nope - that's just the fever coming back. Got my shit done. I'm out, bitches.

I did one better - I called all my minor's comp clients before leaving and left messages. They are the most fun to deal with b/c they want their money NOW. :cattail:
 
I went out and diligently shoveled out my mailbox so that you could deliver my mail...even though I'm home sick...and I *know* I have a book that should be delivered today, I got a notice saying it was at the PO earlier and I just watched you drive by without even trying to get to my mailbox. And now I've received an email saying there was a "delivery exception" because it couldn't be delivered. Seriously? WTF?
