Dorothy - lost your voice for two weeks? I'd be doomed! I can't lose more than todays' work (I actually can't afford to lose today, but I was told by my manager that she didn't want me in the store to infect everyone else)

Karen, trust me, I had already imagined having someone else yell out what I want to tell my class There's someone in the store who wants to be the next dog trainer -- it would be one good way for her to get practical experience
