Congrats! Now, go apply for her job. Where there is chaos, there is opportunity!

Hell, I still remember the euphoria I felt when I found out that my former boss (I had moved to another unit) was “asked” to leave and had to clean out her desk/office that day. She made my life a living hell for 3 years. There are very few people I hate in this world (in fact, there are 2): she is one of them.

I don’t let her rent space in my head anymore, but it took quite a while for me to “decompress”. Good for you that she doesn’t have to be asked to share your wedding joy.  
I truly hope that what goes around, comes around for people.

Am I a bad person for wanting her to show up at your reception just so I can hear the story of how she got tossed out?

Well, right now I’m not in super hot pursuit of a transfer, but there’s no way I’d want to take her job at this branch. She left things in such a hot mess that we really need someone with experience as a supervisor to clean this up. It’s a disaster. I’m actually looking to get off the teller line and make something of myself. I have a bachelor’s degree (though it’s in something rather not useful … Creative Writing) and I want to be doing more with my life than counting other people’s money.

I would love to throw her out. Ooooo, sweet revenge. I’d love to publicly humiliate her like she has me.

Yes! This is better than driving around a curve to find that reckless driver from a few miles back stopped by a state trooper.

Sorry if I’m not up on the situation, but on what grounds did she get demoted and transferred? What transpired?

If you’re a bad person, then so am I, because I want to hear it too.

And yay for a stress-free wedding!
