Ex-client (while she was still a client): I'm not masking in the office anymore. I got the vaccine so I don't have to wear a mask.
Me: Then we'll continue working remotely.
Ex-client: No, you have to come in. I'm vaccinated.
Me: No one else is eligible yet. 1/
Ex-C: But I'm vaccinated! I did it so I wouldn't have to wear a mask.
Me: And you can still carry the virus & kill everyone in the office.
Ex-C: That's a risk you're gonna have to take. 2/
Me: Well, if you kill me, I'm going to haunt you, stay inside your head, and you'll never have a minute's peace again. I'm going to live in your skull until you go stark raving mad.
Beat.
Ex-C: Okay, I'll wear a mask. 3/
I parted ways with her anyway, because this is not the kind of person with whom I do business. That was my last on-site client. I love being fully remote. #Remote #COVID19

I had to have a difficult conversation this morning (and it's early! Not enough coffee!) breaking off what was, to me, a toxic connection. 1/
This person and I had met through professional circumstances and then become friendly (this is quite a few years back). Pretty soon, there was a cycle of first friendliness, then more and more barbed remarks. 2/
That was followed by actions, on both professional and personal levels, that I found harmful. When I stated that I found them harmful, and asked them to stop, I was told, "I have mental health issues. I can do whatever I need to do, and you just have to accept it." 3/
