"I was going to wear that!" Now you get angry that I'm wearing your stuff.

The last time I have to hear about locking cash drawers to people The last time I have to think about labor and sales goals for the week The last time I have to listen to "Party in the USA", "Life is a Highway", "Love me When I'm Gone", "I Kissed a Girl" and all the other songs on the repeating playlist. The last time I have to clean out the 3 compartment sink. The last time I have to choke and cough on the Frank's Red Hot Buffalo sauce. The last time I have to put on a blue Band-Aid after hurting myself in some bizarre way. The last time I hear or think I hear the door chime go off. The last time...
