I too am sick of explaining my story: why did I leave Calgary? why don't I work? why? why? why? Well, I don't go into detail. I just say I've been ill If they ask about that, I just say it's stress related. That usually shuts them up. There are some that are more nosy, they actually ask if I have cancer, did I injur myself, what horrible disease do I have. I just say the same answer; I'm taking time off for stress.

what ever they ask, I am sure to control the conversation by giving answers I'm prepared to give and not lower myself to their rudeness
