[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]17:37 here.  I was trying to point out that life does happen sometimes.  It should be rare.  In my case, probably 10 unplanned events in a a 20 year career....

MIL died unexpectedly, cancer/metastasis diagnosis, passing out leading to emergency medical tests, etc.

If it happens frequently, the person is a poor planner.  Life happens every day.  I can plan for it.  It is in the schedule.  For example, I need to sleep at nights, so the schedule will include downtime for sleeping.

OP here.
The thing is that everyone knows that major life events happen and disrupt tasks.  You would have to be a horrible person and painfully unaware to not realize and support that people have illnesses, death in family,  etc. 
To feel that this needs to be pointed out is a little much.
This person is using this phrase when she is ar work, happy and going about her day per usual with increasing frequency.
I believe she's using it sarcastically, and as a weak way to blow me off, frankly, and am looking for feedback on how to deal with it.
