Sybilitarian: /sib-uhl-TAIR-ee-uhn/ Moody-go-round was an apt description of a day in the life of Roxie. Her mood slings whirled from glad, sad, mad, bad, gad, cad or faddish. She was sort of a Matahari, Mother Teresa, Catherine Medici and Phyliss Diller rolled into one mind. Futhermore, it is said that her fellow workers spoke of her managerial style as sybilitarian, with few willing to prophesize her next “mood”. Etymology: “SYBIL” a book turned into a movie,(1976), tells the tale of a woman who had up to sixteen co-existing personalities & “AUTHORITARIAN.” Created by: OZZIEBOB.
