Hi, Tami,

Yes, that was my issue, all those commas.  Thanks for the suggestion.  I'm going to ponder that.  I didn't even have an idea for an option.

I think it's fine as you have it.  It's so convoluted it's going to be confusing no matter what you do.  Another option, just to section off the serial commas, might be:

Q. Okay. So is it your testimony, just to be more specific, that -- as general manager, assistant vice president of transportation, and as vice president of transportation -- you are not made aware when former employees or employees file charges of discrimination against the company?

Yes, I'm doing well.  I'm planning on getting outside this weekend and working in my yard.  The weather is so pretty.  I have editing to do too but not a ton.

I'm doing all right!  Yeah, I'm feeling better than I was over the weekend.  Was a rough couple of days.  :(  Physically, I'm not sure if I'll ever feel better, but that's a whole other can of worms.  LOL  Hope you're well!!!

I'd do it just as you have it.  :)

Searchmaster has it R and R.

Hi, Kim, yes, rest and relaxation.  Thank you.  That's what I thought.

Janiece,
Just to make sure, you're referring to rest and relaxation; right? If that's the case, I would choose choice A...R&R.
