That’s Crazy

          case. We had to respond to interrogatories, something I had never

          heard of or understood until I had to start to respond to them. The
          interrogatories  were  requests  by  all  attorneys  for  documents  and

          responses to questions in order to prepare their case. It was a pain in
          the butt because you had to make sure everything that was said was

          documented and that there were paper trails. Those bimbos did not

          know I had been trained to cover myself by the best. I truly believe

          Melissa, and Tonya on the responses to their interrogatories. Jerome

          was the first person scheduled for a deposition. It would be his second
          deposition. He had already given one previously, the one where he had

          sold out Melissa and Tonya in order to receive his buyout.

               My attorney had requested medical documentation from Tonya

          since she was claiming her job had caused her such emotional stress.

          After  receiving  the  medical  reports,  it  was  confirmed,  I  was  really
