Thanks so much for the supportive thoughts over this explosion. And Laga, that is exactly what I've done. I hope they will take me up on the offer and I really do understand the kind of fear that leads to inappropriate responses like this but...
Here is what I didn't say:
Okay, so the sense I'm getting is that you had a wildly inappropriate tantrum and, to distract from that, you are using me as a bludgeon. Saying that I have harmed you by going overtime on a session is ridiculous. I took you for more of an adult than that. Bummer for all of us.
Sigh.
I guess the worst part is that this particular person has been one of my very favorite clients ever. I really did assume more maturity and am mystified as to what is actually going on...'cause it sure ain't this. In truth, I think I DO know...and I'm seldom wrong when it comes to something like this...it just makes me sad when people sabotage themselves like that.
Ah well. The learning will occur, or not.
WindSparrow, I have a newfound respect for you. My throat is out to kill me. I don't know how you lived through this. Though, people are enjoying me with no voice. Ugh. So. Much. Pain.
I am with Omnis. Please kill kidnap me.
seriously? Again today. 10am mail server firedrill from soon-to-be-ex-craxy that has lasted until... checks watch... NOW.
AUGH. I need to change all of my numbers.
eta. ooops close that tag.
Oh vw - I'm sorry you got it too. That's something I would gladly keep to myself.
I'm actually not sure what I've got. I'm pretty sure it's a result of my new CPAP mask, which has caused a tremendous dry throat, which results in coughing fits, which results in great pain and apparently now, no voice. And I'm hosting Thanksgiving on Thursday. W00t!
In completely unrelated news, CBD's parents just returned from a few weeks in Australia and New Zealand. They brought me back the most GORGEOUS hand-spun yarn that I have ever seen. I thought that was just the sweetest, most thoughtful gift ever.
ACK-- it's bad enough that teenyboppers and seven year-olds and their mothers are begging for bites, but Tyra?
Come ON.
And it's not like he really had a choice in the situation. yech
vw, I'm sorry you're feeling so lousy. I hope that you are feeling better by Thursday.
I'm home from going out and being social. I.had fun so I guess it was a good idea to go out despite the insane cold. So tired now.
vw, do you have a humidifier? That might help your throat from getting so dry.
I have committing hair dyeing, but it's still too wet to tell about the color. I seem to have avoided dyeing anything else except an old towel, so that's something.
