Didn't HIMYM already
Yes, I think so. The Platinum Rule, something like that? I'm sorry your landlady is being pushy about renewing. I hate that.
Health~ma to all and sundry.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

Thanks, -t. I'm pissed that she called at 9 pm instead of sending us a letter with a deadline date. I just hate having to deal with people on the phone.

Wow, my typing is bad in that post. How did I not notice that? Anyway, calling at 9 pm is extra not right.
I've got petsitters coming tomorrow for an Initial Interview and I am all anxious that my house is not company neat, like they will come in and look down their noses at me for having dog hair all over. If only I could harness that worrying energy for something useful. Like vacuuming up dog hair.

I didn't notice either.

Well, now I've edited to make myself look crazy.

Blergh.
Breaking in to ask for a reality check.
The client I mentioned before who is asking me to support an eeo case, has not taken a diplomatic no for an answer.
The problem is, if I were to tell the truth in an official capacity, it would make her look bad. And given her issues, I'm afraid she will turn on ME next.
She keeps using phrases like "I'm looking forward to your positive response."
I don't have a positive response...nor will I make something up just to get her to go away.
Should I just tell her that?
ETA: It just occurred to me to ask if I can speak directly to her lawyer. That might make things easier. Anyone who wants to win, rather than just get revenge, would see the wisdom in not calling on me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Should I just tell her that?
Ugh.
I'm thinking, she refused to accept the diplomatic response, so you might have to.
Hopefully someone else will have a better idea...
"I'm looking forward to your positive response."
Presumptive much?

Totally. Which, you might imagine, is the problem. Let's just put it this way, I could not in any kind of good conscience cite anyone else for her problems.

I feel for you, bonny. I've been put in that situation, unfortunately, and had no choice but to say something whether I wanted to or not (the military isn't great about giving you choices.) If you have an option, then take it and be blunt with her. You'll lose the client, but you'll have the satisfaction of not having to do something distasteful.
