Okay, here's a helpful hint for curing the hiccups. People sometimes suggest a citrus wedge with a couple of drops of bitters on it. That never worked for me. But if you actually combine some lime/lemon juice and bitters in a small glass, enough to take a swallow or two, it seems to work instantly.
I insisted Chow try this. He took a sip and, while still complaining about the taste, realized he had stopped hiccupping instantly.
One small teaspoon of granulated sugar, washed down with a few sips of water, is all I've ever needed to stop hiccups in seconds. This has been a family remedy handed down from my grandma who was born at the turn of the 20th century.

That's definitely more handy, with ingredients that are more likely to be found in the kitchen. I've only had remedies offered in a bar. Although I rarely get the hiccups.
This reminds me of that scene in Sleepless in Seattle.
tl;dr: A guy wanting to avoid breakup drama just moved out (not just out of the apartment, out of the country) while his girlfriend of three years was away for the holidays. He went completely no contact and criticized her for being needy in contacting his family wanting to know what happened. Now he finds out she's going to be his new supervisor, and wants to know what to do. (Grovel really hard, I'd imagine.)

Talk about karma, LOL. That was a weasel move. Cowardice of the highest order. I hope she makes his life miserable and he has to quit.

Right? Can you even imagine coming home from a trip and your SO of several years is just gone? No note, no forwarding address? That kind of thing would mess you up. I'm generally not the kind of person who wants revenge, but I would want revenge.

Dropping someone like that is really beyond acceptable. Certain things annoy me and really get under my skin. People acting like complete sociopaths like that is one.
Was talking about The Shining movie a little while back. I decided to hit up EBay and grab the book. I know how everyone says the book is better. This sucker is like 700 pages. LOL, it's so old I was able to find it for just 4 bucks with shipping included. LOL, can't beat that.
