Ugh...this thing with my coworker is going to kill me. With the way our store is, a small, retail store, the walls don't go all the way to the ceiling, and you can see the showroom from all over -- we're pretty much all on top of each other all day; there's not one thing that gets said about this that I'm not going to be able to hear. I adore her, but I'm sick of this already. Why, oh, why, did she not take my advice and wait a few months to tell them? Can I go on vacation for the next year? I think I'm going to write that book now...I can apply for a grant. Permanent Vacation!!!
