Luckily for me, although not for her, Katherine got canned from work. Whew, what a relief. It's hard to believe that someone was capable of screwing up so damn much. It finally started trickling up and affecting the boss, in addition to hearing me and Christine bitch constantly. Imagine having your workload actually reduced by having one less person around. Stress I did not need.
