Home Again
I've been out of commission for awhile. Little over a month ago, I collapsed at work. Stress and overheating . . . I had to be taken to the hospital and kept overnight. And, I was also written up by my employer. They're bastards, I tell you. I'm rolled out the goodamned warehouse on a stretcher and I'm written up for leaving work early. People who've had heart attacks have been written up too.
So . . . I've been taking it easy. Looking for another job. Writing and re-writing. My wife's Lupus has flared up and she's been having a rough time of it; I've been helping her a lot too.
So--what have I missed? Has anyone been banned?

Sorry to hear about your troubles, did they ID what was wrong with you?
Sorry to say you are no longer the most controversial member  a couple of new ones have come along who ooze outrageous opinions & vitriolic language
Also, we haven't see n your main protagonist for some time.
Welcome back

They did a battery of tests on me. It wasn't my heart, they said. It was mainly stress and heat exhaustion. I've been taking it easy.
Thanks for the welcome back, J-man.

Now now now . . . . Maybe it was like Survivor . . . and someone was voted off the island. I've noticed that one person was really . . . out there.

Welcome back, Lenzman!! I'm glad you're feeling better! I wonder where you went to...we missed you! Though nothing has really happened, I'm afraid. There's no better way to chill out and relax then by sitting in from of the comp, reading relaxing stories on WF. Good to have you back!

Thanks, LW. I really do appreciate it.
I'm looking for a new job. Those jerks . . . they treat people like crap. For instance, a few weeks ago, a man was run over by forklift--which nearly took his leg off. Now, the man's wife worked in the same department, the same shift, the same building; she was never informed by management of her husband's accident or about him being airlifted to the hospital. Those whores and bastards make me sick. I'm finished with them.
Life . . . is life.

Oh my gosh that's horrible. They do sound really bad.
Life is life. Now that I think about it...that's kind of sad. Wow I have much respect for you.

Welcome back Lensman. I wondered where you'd gone.
