Oh yes. Gladys never met a stranger. Well, she never met them twice because they run for the nearest exit if they see her coming their way. She's a talker. She has apparently had an eventful life in her 24 years on this earth, because she has an opinion on any topic under the sun. It's hard to disengage because she really is a sweet kid who means well. The best thing to do is just say "Hey G, gotta run. You know how they are." I have no idea who "they" are (is?), but if it saves me 30 minutes I have to make up later, I really don't care who "they" are.

YEP. There is this one nurse that is so rude to me for literally no reason. I have never figured out what I could have possibly done to offend her. So I just try to avoid running into her all together because one of these days I am not going to be as nice as I have been

I have a friend who just started a new job-went from a big ad agency to a small start up. The boss at the new job wants to create the company website to show generic work. No actual clients, just work with made up company names. They have many clients that they work with-but won’t show them online. I have never heard of this? Why would someone do that? Isn’t it counterproductive to show fake companies and work? How can they discourage their boss that’s not a good idea without offending them?
