From the Lips of a Lawyer...

I got stood up last night. We'd been making plans for when he was coming out to visit for about 7 weeks. Then the day gets here and nary a word. Not phone call, not an email, an IM or a text. Not even to say, "I can't meet up tonight." Needless to say, I was quite upset over it, and I cried.

I continued crying today. Off and on. It happened to be an "on" moment when my boss walked in and saw me crying.

Boss: Are you ok?
Me: I got stood up last night.
Boss: Ohhhh. Come on in my office.
*I sit down in the other chair and sniffle*
Boss: So what happened?
Me: We made plans, but he never even called. Not a word.
Boss: Hmmm. Was he LDS?
Me: Noooo *knowing where this is going*
Boss: Well there's your problem! AND you had coffee yesterday...
Me: *pause* I have coffee EVERY DAY.
Boss: That's not the point...
*boss ponders for a minute*
Want me to sue him?
Me: For what!? Intentional infliction of emotional distress?
Boss: Yeah! Maybe I should sue him; his infliction of emotional distress had made
you unproductive and interfered with my livelihood...
Me: *rolling my eyes* I don't let my personal life interfere with my productivity.
Boss: *blather blather blather* He's not worth it...you're a great person...blah blah
blah...I'm not really helping am I?
Me: No. But dads don't really get it...even if they do have daughters.

Only a lawyer would ask if his assistant wanted him to sue for getting stood up. Oye.
