Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
That is bewildering, askye. I'm sorry.

Thanks. I feel kind of dumb for just quitting and not asking more questions but I didn't really want to find out the details and the fact it went to corporate HR immediately is just...baffling is a good word.

No, I think you did the right thing for your mental health. There was probably very little positive outcome to occur if you worked this through. Sometimes you just gotta cede the fight and walk away.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
askye, I'm sorry. That really is baffling, but you did the right thing, sometimes it's better to just walk away.

Thanks. Yesterday and last night were really horrible. I finally got some sleep and Java didn't die overnight which I was feeling could happen without knowing if it was me or him, if you know what I mean. In the sense that dying is a process, it's definitely a process it's underway but I am still hopeful to have more time with him, lots more time.
I'm really sorry askye. I looked up the online "are you on the spectrum" quiz from Psych today for a friend, and took it again, and got the same thing as always, a score that is just inside the "you have aspergers" result. I'm remembering that it's the same thing for you, except more definitive because your psychologist diagnosed you is that correct? And I wonder if that had something with not being able to read the situation... I understand! I also wonder if telling HR department that you have a diagnosis of Asperger's or whatever since they did away with Asperger's, would be helpful. It's considered a medical condition and they may be required legally to accommodate that. Certainly it may help them to better understand you. Or this may be all moot if you quit. It seem like you liked the job, you might have alternatives if you talked to them tomorrow if you wanted to.

Thanks Java.
My therapist gave me the Aspersions Quotient Assessment and I scored in the range. I haven't done formal testing because the old insurance didn't cover it and out of pocket it's at least $2000. I'm not sure if the new insurance will cover it.
And I did quit. I thought for a second about explaining I have Asperger's but I realized the bigger issue is that it went immediately to corporate HR. And I wasn't happy there anyway so I'm ok with how things turned out.
