So my boss has a big mouth

and is telling everyone about my mom. Then everyone turns around and asks me how my mom is doing.

She has fuckingcaner people. I'm going to wear this boot right off my foot after I'm done with all the clam kicking I have inside me right now.

I think there should be a rule about this - if I didn't tell you about my mom's cancer, then I don't want to talk to you about it.

I think I'm going to need to join your coalition.  I could really use some clam kicking in my life right now.

Let's get to kicking. Also, clam kick is the new junk punch.

It's fine to say, "thanks for asking, but it's too hard for me to talk about."

I remain silent until they get the hint.

Oh Min.  I am sooo... sorry.  A lot of clam kicking is in order.

What kills me is The Ogre asking. Dude, you actively throw me under the bus 99.9% of the time. I know you don't care about me, let alone my mom. ::clam kick::

I"m w/ nola.
And I"m sorry, your boss is being a jerk--this is your news to share and sometimes we don't WANT people to know our buziness!.
(Other than my boss, almost noone at work knows about my mom--even w/ the 'good' proposed outcome..  I'm 99% sure my boss has told a few other key players but they're wise enough not to come to me)

InksWell

Kick away.

Ditto Nola. 

There are people like you to don't want to talk and there are people like my friend who practically keeps a chart of who asks and how often so that she can rank their worthiness as a human being accordingly....so a lot of people aren't sure how to react.
