boss: "how's your dad doing?"

me: "well, he's finished with his chemo and his baseline scan was really good, no signs of disease. now he's just tired ALL the time. he will sometimes sleep 12 - 15 hours a day, not including naps, and still be tired. he has always slept a lot his whole life, but now he's just always trashed. they've just started him on steroids again to see if they will jump start his body."

boss: "oh. hum. well, i've heard that sleeping more than you need can make you as tired as sleeping not enough. so maybe he's sleeping too much?"


dude, do you even know what cancer is??? i'll be sure to tell him and his doctors that he's just sleeping too much.
