13. Funny how some of those nice ladies turn

out to be not so nice. I have one like that at work. But she is totally passive aggressive about it. The first I found out how evil she could be was when I was talking to another coworker who just returned from having open heart surgery. He had congestive heart failure caused by blocked arteries. I was telling him that my brother died from that because he did not have health insurance, and had already had one emergency episode that racked up serious bills with the hospital and doctors in his rural area. He obviously was not feeling right, since we found an old pill bottle on the kitchen counter, but he couldn't go to the doctor without insurance. As I was telling this story, she was in the room across the hall, smirking, rolling her eyes, and shaking her head. When I said "no one will be able to tell me that health insurance is not a right", she threw papers down and stalked off giving me a look that could kill.

Seems that she is not all that nice. She has just learned to be pleasant and smile a lot.
