Every now and again a normal human being, like yourself, can end up with a frighteningly abnormal problem.\u00a0 If you are lucky, you might get hooked up with the name or pointed in the direction of someone who can help you.\u00a0 Sometimes the person who can help will be Olivia.<\/p>\n

Olivia doesn’t want to help you.\u00a0 She doesn’t have a soft heart or work in a service industry, so you better make it worth her while to even lift a finger.\u00a0 Alternately, you could prove that your problem is more interesting than her day job, or, more accurately, night job.\u00a0 You may have to pay her; she’s not always clear on that.<\/p>\n
