description:
A mix of songs that make it difficult to feel bummed while listening to with some not too subtle references to friendship and my love of snarky girls. Made for a departing coworker to commemorate her winning the who-gets-outta-here-first contest. Coincidentally, my call up to the majors came on the afternoon of the day I presented her with this.
