Must be Nice

Some people will do ANYTHING to get out of working. Even if the job is cushy, flexible, and basically free money. This is the case with a particular co-worker of mine. This woman has worked in this office for 25 years...OK, she's put her time in. But apparently, that means she can work (or not work) any time she wants, take 125 vacation days a year, conduct all of her personal business at work instead of at home, and (now, that latest) leave work at the drop of a hat. She just informed me that she would be leaving work now, at 11:00 AM when she just arrived an hour after the rest of us at 9:30 AM, because a friend of hers is sick. Yes, that's right. She must fly to Tennessee to retrieve her son from her sick friend, and then fly onto Florida, where she will spend the next 2 weeks at her fabulous vacation home. I guess flying from Baltimore to Florida tonight meant that she would have to be in the office for more than 7 hours this week, so instead, she's shelling out extra cash to go from Brawltimore, to Tenn, onto Fla. That must be so annoying! God..I would hate having enough money to be able to fly anywhere at anytime. And I would really hate having a vacation home in Florida. Some people really have to struggle...
