But he’s getting enough attention in this forum right now. **Maureen** , if you’ll wait until the California Department of Forestry & Fire Protection, in it geologic time frame, lets us know where my Firefighter hubby will be working, and if their decision puts us in the area, I’m not psychotic, I’m pretty smart, I take instruction well, I worked in a dialysis unit for 6 years, head nurse for the last 2 (of course, it was when the Drake/Hickman Gang was terrorizing the U/W and dialysis meant 100 gallons of water in a stainless steel washtub, with a hose out the 4th floor window for negative pressure…) I can file , I don’t steal, I’m pretty even tempered, I’m not very paranoid, and best of all, I take full responsibility for my actions. My only real handicap is these pesky run-on sentences. Oh, yeah, and most mornings I’m older than God or feel like. If offered I might consider… well, I’m just not that pushy… :rolleyes: calf eyes ---

> [@](#): > > **Maureen** : **Rilch** , she doesn’t actually have a “mental illness.” I am under the impression her meds are hormone replacements for menopause. Her mood swings used to be epic. Now they’re merely distracting and annoying. Maureen, thanks for the clarification. I had inferred from the following statements that you were referring to a mental problem: > [@](#): > > Okay. Back story which really tells you just how off beam her bubble is. > [@](#): > > Okay. Joan of Arc’d Off Her Meds gets her drama. > [@](#): > > When she came to my department from finance, she told me that she was doing much better, could focus on projects better, was taking her meds, had a better outlook, yadayadayada > [@](#): > > She left. Had an anxiety attack and had to have her sister come pick her up. At this point **Billdo** must have had the same impression and posted this which was not refuted: > [@](#): > > Because she has a medical/mental health condition, there is a possibility the Americans with Disabilities Act may be implicated in any discipline/personnel decisions you may take. I would seriously consider getting HR and employment counsel involved immediately and before going any further. **Zookr** also posted about Joan needing treatment. Queen Tonya’s comment went unrefuted: > [@](#): > > **Queen Tonya** : Even though everyone and their brothers can see Joan’s totally wrong and completely off her rocker… **Maureen** , you _did_ respond to comments from others, but didn’t actually discourage the notion of mental illness that seemed to permeate the drift of the thread: > [@](#): > > **a35362** : Maureen, just curious: does she pull the “Oh, forgive me, I’m on meds and I’m Not Well” - type drama? (Meaning, of course, I’m Not Responsible for Anything I Say or Do and You Can’t Touch Me.) Just wondering. (You acknowledged that Joan did not do this.) > [@](#): > > **ink a dink a dink** : Just a question - even in an “at will” contract ot state, if someone is known to management as having mental issues or is on medication for issues, it’s much much harder to “get rid and make them go away.” **bouv** related a story about a woman who was in an accident that damaged her brain and used that as an excuse for being a total bitch. You responded: > [@](#): > > You know for a fact that they’re taking advantage of their disability, but point it out and you’re cruel and heartless and a scoundrel. How dare you pick on a disabled person!!?? Because suddenly the person they are doesn’t matter, their disability is all that’s taken into account. Kinda screws the people who deal with their disabilities every day and still manage to be productive and good people. In reading back through the posts, I don’t think that you had intentionally set out to describe someone that you considered to be mentally ill. The expression “off her meds” is commonly used to refer to people with mental health issues. Often it is used as a put down. Several of us made assumptions from that point on and we were not discouraged from doing so. But I also don’t think that you were intentionally drawing anyone in that direction. > [@](#): > > **Rilch** : Well, Zoe, there you go. No one’s picking on a mentally disabled person. (In this scenario.) Well, **Rilch** , there you go. Saying that no one’s picking on a mentally disabled person in this scenario is very strange considering that wasn’t my point at all. As I’ve said all along, Maureen did a great job and Joan should be out on her can. ---

> [@This Year's Model](#): > > I can’t believe in all of those good things, you forgot the most important: do you have your own boombox? Actually, I have 2 (3, if you count hubby’s greasy one in the garage) ,2 portable CD players and a Walkman®. I’m going to get Tiger® (OSX.4) tomorrow, I might get an iPod® too. So I doubt if I’ll need to arm wrestle Elliot. I bet I could take him, though, if I had to… 🆒 ---

LOL - yep not sure what Tylenol is called where I am, but I’m sure you need it. Right “we disagreed”, not “sorry I tried to steal the lad’s boombox”. Dear me, no. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I hope she gets abducted by aliens. ---

They should make convicted burglars write apology cards to their victims: “Sorry we disagreed over the allocation of your property.” ---

> [@Maureen](#): > > She brought me a card. A little note card that says “sorry we disagreed…Joan.” Yeah, that’s about like getting a card that says “Sorry you got all bent out of shape and then felt the need to bully me.” I was watching Judge Judy the other day in which the defendant had written an apology letter to the plaintiff (and used this fact as part of her defense). The letter read something like “I guess I should apologize even though I really feel I was in the right, but I really think it’s you who owe me an apology, you heartless bitch. If I see you again I’ll kick your ass.” ---

I like that “apology”, **tdn**. Hey, you could use that subject to start a thread in MPSIMS called “What if we could get away with anything by writing an apology that isn’t really an apology?” Ooh, the hilarious antics that would ensue! ---
