She has to talk to a lot of people for her work...she's really good on the phone especially.

Her and the nurse both work with developmentally disabled adults, so she has developed a style of communication that is very gentle, but she is also able to cut you off at the knees...I was surprised she tolerated that shit today.

But, I think we both didn't want to create a ruckus in a room full of sick people.
