had the rather gratifying experience yesterday of training someone who absorbed what I was teaching her and ran with it. A few of my customers who have complained about Alison came by while I was training Liz and said nice things to her, and to me. My biggest critic, a crazy little man who runs the dollar store around the corner with the dubious assistance of a fleet of surly "nieces" behind the counters, came by and told me Liz was "very good, you will have lots of customers now". I will still probably end up working some Saturdays, but not ALL of them.

I'm researching exhibitionism. too much fun.
