branch management

My cousin Corinne and her husband have worked for the same company for some time now, she as a designer and he as a branch manager. Due to a recent promotion, however, (yay!!) Corinne is now a branch manager, too.

"Does that mean you're on the same level now?"

"Well, yes and no. He manages a big showroom with several designers and a whole warehouse full of burly guys and I'll be managing a small boutique store that his branch helps stock. So while we both oversee our own branches, it's like I have one little leaf he has. . . a tire swing."

The man who makes my eggs in the morning came from around the counter yesterday, snuck up behind me and whispered in my ear that I wasn't the only one concerned about the high price of bacon. It wasn't the inappropriate act of intimacy that shocked me, so much as the realization in the moment that it had been so very long since a man had whispered anything to me at all.

I Must.

Absolutely.

Get out.

More often.
