I've been sitting here working since 6:30AM. It's 20 minutes from beer thirty and she calls me with yet another crisis. :banghead:

3. She's looking for a contract.
Even though she was told Friday that it would take a couple of days. She's going to be the death of me.

8. There's a reason that client is so needy.
People who wait 'til the last minute are like that, you know.

12. It always seems to happen near the end of the day, doesn't it?
I remember the last day of work before my wedding, I had the situation from hell explode at work about an hour before quitting time. It was not pretty.

15. If she knows you are now worrying and sweating, she doesn't have to
She probably sleeps better that way.

I can go all day without a call for application support and invariably the phone rings at 4:59pm on a Friday evening for an urgent RFP! ARGH!!!

that is option A of the Needy Client plan. Option B involves not calling until the problem has become so overwhelming there is little one can do to solve it.

18. It's called: "will you abandon me"
or will you not or will you have mushy boundaries or will you not will you take care of me or will you support me to learn to take care of myself all part of the borderlinish boundary issues that we all love and know yet they are people who truly need boundaries, and support answers treat them like the trauma survivors they may be and they may start responding like people who are ill and not just needy.
