My blossoming relationship

I was so excited to get to sleep in today, until I woke up to my crazy co-worker calling me at the crack of dawn…there goes that.  In her defense, she’s crazy in a good way…still, when I’m with her, I don’t know if I should (a) shoot her up with Haldol or (b) just further feed her kookiness with my own wacky ways. *FYI: Haldol is a med for schizo patients She works night shifts, so we don’t actually work directly with each other, hence the ridiculously early phone calls on my days off. … Read more >
