I got a huge corporate gift yesterday and my co-worker tried to take credit for it

Yesterday I closed a $24,000 corporate gift to my radio station, no small feat in these tough economic times, especially in Michigan. I was pretty proud because this particular company had called me in December, after I had sent them rates, and said "Okay, convince us. Why should we go with your station and not the behemoth station down the road?" Considering that station is six times bigger than ours in reach and audience and is actually located in the town where the business is, it was no easy task. But, it appears that I did it and I feel very good about that.

When I told my co-worker, our music director, she said "That's why I told you we needed to talk to them and have them on the pledge drive. I knew they would support us." Huh? A) this isn't for the pledge drive and, B) after further discussion it developed she didn't even mean this particular company! She was just so afraid that I might get recognized by our boss for something good that she had to try to insert herself into it.

I don't understand that kind of insecurity, I really don't. I don't try to take credit for the great music she selects and plays, why can't she give me my just props for this? Her reaction just totally killed my happiness.

Grr.

2. May she have an 'unexpected' spell of dead air.

Just pull the plug for a few seconds, or have the building suddenly undergo a little power 'blip'.
