I ran into the former friend...with both dogs...this morning.
I'm glad to see that Speck still breathes, but I really don't think he belongs in an urban environment.
The woman asked how my arms are and when I said that I have nerve damage in both my hands, she screwed up her face and blurted, "You DO?!!" in this incredulous tone of voice that really made me want to smack her...except I wouldn't bother hurting my hands on her.
All I could say was, "I think we should talk about it another time" and dragged Cagney away.
eta: angry typing = bad typing.
Oh my God. I am so, so angry.
Any ideas on what I _should_ say?
The upside of the mice, Ginger, is that you have one very happy dog. I'm so glad it isn't rats.

The truth. Don't spare her the details, and short of cursing, don't go out of your way to be polite about it.
Zen, would you be willing to read the email I have written to her?
It doesn't include any cursing but I worry it may be too much.

I agree with Zen. You need to be clear with your expectations.
Just found out I'm going to have a new social worker for the Big Damn Meeting next month. Ugh, more telling my life story to a stranger(who, incidentally, is also looking for ways to cut expenses.)
I will not, however, miss the current guy who is as blurting and rude as he is moronic.
God, bonny. I hope the cluestick gets through... and I kinda hope it hurts a little.
askye, that is a truly excellent burn.
I'm so thrilled that we're halfway to the goal for Ginger! I need to make my own donation and share it on fb.
We are finishing up a job today; it's earlier than expected because their construction budget was ridiculously small and we are... not cheap. So they've hired someone to finish up our work and aren't even letting us install hardware, even though we offered to do it for nearly as low as the other guy.
It's not a great feeling. We feel awkward, and I'm sure they do too (the wife works from home). We could have communicated better and we've learned a lot from it, but it sucks to go out this way. Ah well.
And then there's the fact that we don't have the green light on our next job yet. WHEE!!
