Which I get, juliana, but I don't exactly think of my inheritance as free money. I paid far too steep a price for it.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
To be honest, megan? I didn't realize your inheritance was still tied up. I am very sorry for that.

I'm sorry I rubbed salt into anyone's wounds. That was never my intent.

Heh. I paid a steep price for being in my family, and I didn't even get an inheritance. Damn, I need to fire my agent.
To be clear, I don't begrudge anxiety, either.
Grrr. Asshole. You know *he'd* be outraged if he didn't get something due him in a timely manner because someone couldn't be assed to sign his name.
Those are Susan's words. And it was this sentence in particular that prompted me to post.
And I later edited this post, and deleted her quote, because I saw that Susan apologized. However, now that I've thought about it, I am going to leave it as is. Because if Susan had expressed her anxiety in any other way than calling someone an asshole? It would be a different scenario.
This isn't about telling someone to stop whining about diamond shoes being too tight, or measuring "first world" problems. It's about calling someone out when they're sharing every single detail of a private financial matter, and not understanding that for many on the board, the utter impatience is bordering on entitlement.
And I stand by that. And I stand by my right to say "dude, calm it. You're very lucky to get out from under your debt, and we're all happy for you, but calling someone an asshole because your money isn't happening fast enough for you? That's annoying."

And because cute hair deserves a separate post:
SOX! Love that cut (and I may get to see it in person soon).

That cut is awesome, Sox!
