But crazy and annoying. Her agenda wasn't about her kid either. It was all about her anger at her ex-husband.

I don't get paid enough.

No you don't get paid enough! Holy cow the deranged ones can really put you over the edge. Sometimes warranted (the system and meetings can make anyone nuts) and most of the time not.

ummmm - Is it Friday yet?

Best of luck BK... I wonder after all the years do you hate holiday music?
