It's time to "weed" the Ferns out of my yard....

I have a friend at work who has turned out not to be a friend at all. After working with her for ten years I've come to know her as well, if not better, than members of my own family. This is owed to many hours in the car driving to D.C. to and from work. Once at work, much to my dismay over the years, also sitting literally at opposite ends of each other. God, how did I (do I) bear it. Oh, did I mention she lives only five minutes away? Ah, the irony.

So, it seems that I have just discovered that she is not really a friend. This would not be true. I knew long ago, but somehow shelved this because we have to work together. But today was different. What are the seven deadly sins? Isn't lusting after money one of them? Well, throwing morality, friendship, etc. all out the window, this is what my weed valued most today (everyday actually). Ten years and finally I believe things will not be forgiven. Actually, maybe forgiven eventually, but not forgotten.

I have worked a long time. I have worked a long time at this job. When, oh when, can I move on from this? I've tried. Maybe this will be the year.
