Somewhere Over The Rainbow

So the person who does quite a bit of the office work has basically said that she's going to leave unless her mileage in gets paid for. (She lives about 68 miles out). When it comes down to training another person to do all her work and getting them up to speed, it'll take at least six months. It's total and complete horseshit. And if we keep her, we lose our part-time help - not really too big of a deal. (However, the renovation on the garage project remains intact). Wifey is so short-sighted it's not funny and my co-worker really doesn't want to leave, but things like this make us feel very unappreciated (and that's a fairly big understatement).
