Not enough. Unsure if it was my mother's voice or my conscience speaking.

Festive.

The local horse racing track. You missed the good odds on that thing.

Bold of you to assume he knows grammar.

If the person implementing this policy is unable to see beyond the end of their own nose, this suggests to me an inability to truly listen to and engage with the counter arguments and views of others. Which renders them unsuitable in my eyes. Unless the point is only to ram this through uncritically

Hey, sorry I missed you. The last week has been crazy anyway, I probably wouldn't have time to talk properly. Plus we had an incident last night with a top bloke abusing his wife around the store and another customer giving him what for. Christmas is a delight.

I share your impulse and impulse control. Strangers/customers lay hands on me every week. They are sternly told to desist and look hurt and shocked at having been told off. They see no problem with their behaviour. It isn't just men, older women frequently cross boundaries.

And as a retail worker familiar with these people, I would have seen nothing had you have hit him. Unfortunately the 722 cameras in store may suggest otherwise. 1/

I said what I said. Your new project will come up beautifully in the shade of blue you've chosen.

But K is more right than you are. Concede.

And now that song has stopped me singing Everybody Wants Something. Sweet relief.

For me it was cereal. Now I no longer need a reason to want him thrown out a window.

She has shown us who she is. If she is deviating from that, it isn't because of any fairytale notion of a redemption arc or metamorphosis. It is because that which worked before is no longer working for her. Trying a different grift to retain grasp on power.

Happy to alert you next time if required.

They were half price last week. Which I recognise is very useful information right now.

By emesis bag I mean these things, cos they designed to be leak proof and right shape for arms.

An unused emesis bag works very well, if you have any around or at work. The hospital gave us a couple. We just used large, soft hair ties to seal it. Can be reused (for this purpose).

Thought the same thing when I saw it. That the lackey levelling the claim was not raised in a culture of family and respect. Growing up Italian, everyone we treated as family and vice versa is my cousin and their mother is Zia.
