My Trip of a Lifetime

Patrick and I have been trying for a baby for around 4 months.

I'll support you no matter what.  So, she puts in her notice and tells our scheduling manager that she'd work out the week this week, but not to schedule her for NEXT week. I'm going out on a limb by saying that it sounds like she's going to be starting her new job at that point in time.  But, I digress.  She calls me today bitching about my GM.
