Weepy becomes creepy

Today I started telling some of my clients that I'll be resigning in a few weeks. Some have reacted nonchalantly, while others have taken it a bit hard. The most unique response I have gotten thus far, however, has (of course) been from none other than...Weepy Woman. I had my last session with her today and I was ecstatic! After following up with her on some things I needed to help her out with, I gave her the news.

She was excited for me and made some comment about me being a 'lucky girl,' followed by her saying something about it being a coincidence. She just heard on the news last night that apparently Seattle is the #1 place to live. Weepy Woman began to explain why it was considered #1 and went on to complain about her dislike for Chicago and its 'rude people' (her words). I told W.W. that I still love Chicago and the friendly people, just not the weather. I asked W.W. where she would like to move to if she could go anywhere......

Yes folks, I am NOT making this up. Her response? "Seattle." God officially hates me. Why me?! Please, don't let it be so! Of all my clients! Weepy has turned....Creepy. I was telling her about a few different places I've lived and we talked about Florida. She asks if I've ever been to Boynton Beach/Del Ray. "No, but I have a friend who lives there....have you ever been there?" I say to W.W.

W.W.: "No, I was going to go there with my boyfriend (at the time, in 1988) but he got in a car accident and died."

She starts rambling about how she went to Tennessee instead, during "the heat wave of '88. Remember that?"

Me: "No...."

Weepy tells me Tom so and so got death threats that summer. "Tom who?"

Weepy: "The weatherman."

Me: "He doesn't have control over the weather...." (seriously, what else do you say to that?!?!)

She also tells me she knows someone who works for a travel agency and asks if I have a ticket already (!!!). I tell her I'm driving with a friend, not flying. Oh dear.

Finally, she gives me one last cry for old time's sake. And it wasn't about my leaving, it was about getting a lawyer for something. She also informed me that there's a Hepatitis A, B, C, D, F, and a G now.

This is the kind of stuff I'm going to miss being informed about when I leave. Ah, the stories...

The future "Sessions" book just wouldn't be complete without Weepy, now would it?
