In that case... it served her right to have to clean the mess and have
the inconvenience...  except she probably took it out on you for her
neglect...

Good timing on his part... not so good for her getting away with it
anymore...  It's sad when people in service positions use them as power
positions... I had a co-worker in the welfare office that would bully
his clients, it grated on me every time, but I wasn't in a position to
do anything... dunno what happened to him...

 DD>> And as it was kept under the bed - I couldn't see it and ring the chime

 NB>> Besides, you were in a coma for part of it... ;)   The hospitals here

I'd certainly hope so... :)

I've had a number of excellent doctors go off to other places... like
you, I knew that my loss was their great gain...  I've been fortunate
lately to have a very good set of doctors, more or less excellent fit
with me... In the past I've had some pretty bad doozies...  :)
