Blast I should really preread before posting.
REALLY sorry to hear that LM. When my grandmother on my mothers side was close to passing away on the island last year, nobody except my mother was really going to see her. She basically moved in and helped her parents for 4 months before the ending. The other siblings didnt come to right at the end, and then they blamed alot on her. Her youngest sister was a complete B*tch about it, and talked ALOT behind my mothers back. My mother ignored it... I didnt.
Theres no sence in gettting frustrated, I agree with you, but unfortunatley, different people deal with it different ways. I feel for you.
Thats too bad about your boss LM. Just do the 8 hours, with the .5 then dont do any extra like you used to? If he asks say sorry, you told me 8.5 ?
