I am now even more depressed than usual.
Two hours later, she's still going on?? Ugh, sounds like my father and a brother.

I'm so sorry I don't have a script to shut those people. Usually I literally walk away after saying "It's been 3 hours. I'm tired." because this happens to me face to face.
Thanks for this!
