COMMENTARY:

Divorce
- posted in the General Forum
A member writes: "We have a woman in our office who is getting a divorce. Phone, e-mail, chat, tears ... time. How patient am I to be? How many weeks of wasted time? I don’t want to be [a jerk], but this is too much. Did you know that people who work on production lines get divorced too? They don’t have phones or e-mail or water coolers and coffee pots. How do they do it?"
