I'm so sorry for your loss, juliana. I also think Otto is a kick-ass name.
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

So, this morning I basically walked away when our admin assistant tried to tell me the story of her horrific delivery and how the doctors had totally screwed up everything. When she spoke the words, "ripped a hole this big" I interrupted her and told her I wasn't listening to these kinds of stories because they were not helpful, constructive or supportive to me and walked out of the room.
It's two hours later, and she just cornered me in my office to supposedly apologize, but actually to finish her story because she thought I should hear the end.
I'm so mad at her I nearly threw her out in front of a bunch of people.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
12 more minutes of work into it and I'd be over with the paper.
If I just weren't so fucking tired.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It's the (original) name of my grandfather, too.
Mine too, but he kept it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Sparky that is utterly ridiculous. I hope you ripped her a new hole that big.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Three of my friends had painless contractions. THREE. And I really don't have that many friends.
One barely made it to the hospital because she woke up in the morning ready to give birth.
One had both her children in under three hours of hospital time.
And now I'm going to go and KICK that chick's ASS. Where is she, Sparky? I'm puttin' the hurt on her.

The status is NOT quo.
Juliana, I'm so sorry for your loss. Many condolences on the passing of your grandfather, and love and peace to you and yours.

Sparky, that's disgusting. What an insensitive ass.
Shir, I think everyone else has given good advice, so I will just wish you luck in dealing with the insensitivity.
What's up with insensitivity today? Seriously, people, it's not that hard! At the least, when someone has told you that you are being insensitive, apologize sincerely!

Thanks. It's a good thing that I hate lack of sleep just a little bit more than certain kinds of confrontations.

Where is she, Sparky? I'm puttin' the hurt on her.
She's a 60+ year old woman, and she's known for telling these kinds of stories whenever there is something health/medical. Which is why I cut her off and told her I didn't want to hear it.
I very calmly told her that I appreciated the apology, but I'd thought I'd made myself very clear with regard to her story and if I didn't then I was doing so now: I would not be discussing any medical issues/decisions with her - those are private and off-limits now and forever.
But I still want to throttle her.
