Ah -- google tells me the answer! Simplified probate was all we needed, and I imagine my uncle, the executor, dealt with whatever needed dealing with. [link]

The short answer is probate is a nightmare, esp since my sister's estate is right about the amount where you don't need to go through it, but it's blocking my access to her monies in the meantime.
Ugh. I am also not great at this job but I am at least trying.
"Nope, sorry, I'm not indebted to you, I'm sorry my sister wasn't able to make good on it, you're on the list, gotta go."
Pretty much. She's not even being a vulture. She's lonely and she misses my sister and she feels invisible. And she's deeply regretting loaning money to a woman who passed away before she paid her back. I get it, I really do. I even feel for the woman. It's just I don't have the emotional resources to be there for her while she unloads all her misery and anxiety onto my shoulders.

I feel like this is one of those things like punching up, not down? The friend doesn't get to ask for support from the sister of the deceased.
And Ginger, I hope you get to be a five-year-old sometime! If only briefly. I meant to say that before.

I'm kind of tempted to leave work now just so that the last issue I consult on today is about sperm.

What is going to beat sperm? Nothing. I say run.
I'm in OT today cause I promised to get one thing done and I've been fiddly farting around all day. ADD to the max.

I left work at 4:20, but the closing process just hit a snag on something that was mine, so I had to come back in. (I can't login remotely at the moment). Now I am afraid to leave lest I have to come back up again.

My new building is very open plan. So of course people pause to have phone conversations in the open elevator lobby, where their words can echo to as many corners as possible. I swear, this woman was moving around to find the best echo.

Now I'm choosing owl rescue groups to give to in NJ on her behalf. Or maybe it should be Mass, since that's where she's from.
