Maybe it would help her to see she is making a choice? Perhaps you could, a bit facetiously, point out to her that she doesn't need them to survive, she is choosing to live there rather than live in her car or be homeless. Even tease her that she's so scared of you she'd choose to live with grandparents instead of be your neighbor LOL.
Ha! I like it.
Had what I like to call a "Come to Jesus" meeting with the owner and several co-workers last night. He's making some major changes to help with the growing pains and angry customers we've been dealing with. I'm very excited about the changes, my co-workers not so much. Which makes it even better. And he called out my manager in front of all of us. Awesome. I've decided that if I get the Developer promotion and $15K raise I'm seeking, I'm buying an iPad to celebrate. Yay!
W informed me that she left for an ACTS retreat with her aunt today. Said she's been completely stressed and needs to get away. If I remember right, this is a Catholic retreat where friends and family can write you letters that you read over the weekend. Wish I had known about it. Thinking of writing her a letter and sending via e-mail. Cell phones aren't allowed but W is planning to sneak in her netbook LOL. Plan to work on this and post it here tomorrow. This could be really big. Or, it could be nothing. Time will tell.
