Thanks again, everybody. I appreciate the input. I am a very sarcastic person by nature, but I am trying to go with the subtle approach some of you mentioned. After being at the meeting last night, I had a call from a friend who kept asking in different ways if I was ok, and if I had just been too busy, or if I needed to talk, etc. I kept turning it to the positive like jgnat and others mentioned, and it seemed to work. I said I was doing great, yes I have been very busy, how is your work going, I would love to get together soon, and so forth. I just didn't even hint that there was anything wrong or negative.
