Um.

This evening, us 3 gals (B, M, and I) went to see S’s hockey game. B and I went together but M ventured in on her own, since no one actually invited her. Whatever. I forgot something in the car and when I got back into the arena, B and M were clearly talking about something big. B kept making eyes at me like, “You won’t believe this!” and she kept trying to get M to repeat it while I was there but she absolutely wouldn’t, so I guess I am not supposed to know!

Well, naturally, B told me. I get a text from B saying the following:
“She’s suicidal and her work called her grandparents to tell them. Oh and she’s on a mental health break.”

Wow. Another day, another drama.

After the game, I got B to go into more detail and the story is that she went into her day job on Monday to inform them that she wants to quit. Her boss asked why and she told him that “working here makes me suicidal, I want to kill myself.” Um. Way to be up front about it! So he told her that she needs to take 2 weeks of mental health leave before she quits.

Then, concerned for her life, they called her grandparents (the emergency contact) to inform them that she has essentially threatened to kill herself. So her grandparents of course called her and asked what was up! I have no idea what she said to them in response but she did tell B that the planned family dinner this weekend was going to be a tad awkward!

B asked her if she actually was suicidal and she answered, “Only when I’m at work.”

I CAN’T MAKE THIS SHIT UP, PEOPLE.
