......once it's broken, though you can fix it the vase will never be same again.
I love both of my jobs, here at the campground and working at my store in the mall. Most of my co-workers have become good friends.
Working here at the campground is really a lot of fun, sometimes we have a hard time with a camper or two, but we never have problems with each other.
Working in a commission job is entirely different. Greedy co-workers suddenly come out of the woodwork.
At my job in the window department, we do custom orders. We get customers that come in, and we do a quote for them. Usually they try to come back when you are working. Sometimes they will come back when you are off. When a customer comes in a asks about a custom order, I always ask if someone else has helped them. If one of my co-workers already has a quote in for them, that employee gets the sale.
This past week, I lost a $2000.00 sale because my co-worker is greedy. She knew that I had talked to this customer because that customer had my business card with the quote paper. She (my co-worker) pretended not to see it. That could have been $60.00 on my pay check. I'm not that upset about the money, I thought she was my friend and I trusted her.
This is the main reason I don't like commission jobs. I could not do that to my co-workers and sleep at nights.
On a different note, Hurricane Irene did drop a few trees and large branches on us as well as a ton of rain. We still have electric and so far it looks like we won't have much flooding. I know the people on the east coast are having many problems.
Last night we (workampers) had a hurricane party. We met in the diner for some drinks and laughs.

May be she realy needs the money bad. But its still not right and you know who not to trust.
Too bad about your greedy co-worker. Some people will to anything for a buck.
Glad you escaped the worst of Irene.
That is to bad, like you said, you thought she was your friend. Money seems to do strange things to a lot of people.
I am so sorry about your co-worker. That is wrong in every way. It hurts when we feel like we've been betrayed by a friend. Sorry that happened to you. I hate commission jobs also. It just causes those kinds of problems.
I never liked commissions either. I'd rather have worked for straight hourly pay.
