It may be harder for me to comprehend on a work level because I work with words rather than people. I mean, yeah, people wrote those words, but I don't deal with them directly (one of the positives of being a freelancer--I don't have to hear authors complain about the changes like I did when I worked more directly for the company).

LT-I do get it though. One time when my dad was in the hospital I had a zoom meeting with the psychiatrist I was seeing for medication management. My 3 months were up and I had to do the zoom or she wouldn’t refill the scripts. So I was telling her about my dad and at the end I read her the numbers off my debit card so she can process the payment. She either entered them wrong or I said them wrong because I got a text from her saying the payment was denied. I remembered being very upset because she knew I was headed to the hospital to go see my dad and I’m like “She only cares about the payment”. And I had to process that.
