World Book dumped her… and actually the story ends well, as I got back at her with the old success-is-the-best revenge tack. I started working for Britannica and got that state contract away from her as they picked up Britannica and dumped World Book. Now Britannica has it locked in, but they recently let all their sales reps go. Blimey. I’m running out of encyclopedia companies!

But yes, Sara=Coach. Coach=Sara.

Hmmmm, Fossil bags? I’ll have to check them out.

This is a long story, but I’ll try to shorten it. I used to be the independent sales rep in Hawaii for World Book. Yes, selling encyclopedias… not door to door but to schools, and selling their online database product to school libraries and the DOE. Well I miraculously brought in a huge contract for the company, the entire state of Hawaii public school system. Almost as soon as the ink was dry on this big DEAL (no other Hawaii rep or any WB rep for that matter) had done such a thing…my west coast sales manager sent me a termination letter. She wanted to steal the new Hawaii account and its renewals (guaranteed commissions in the thousands for years to come) for herself and her pet sales rep in California. It was probably illegal, but I could not go after World Book and its legions of lawyers. I was devastated to lose my position and the account….

but the reason I even think of this story while reading your post is that SHE (Sara, the beastly one) had a Coach handbag addiction too!! I can’t even walk by a Coach store without tasting the bile well up in my mouth. I’m certainly glad your best friend is NO SARA! 😉

P.S. For what it’s worth I have a Fossil bag addiction!
