Nah, the puppy sliding in the oil was low-key the best part.

Actually @thomasb41, kinda true but more like a switch.

Actually, splitting profits was my big worry too. But you hit on the real point there with the holiday rush. It's not about cutting the same pie in half, it's about baking a second, bigger pie together. More people in chairs means more money coming in the door total, even after you split it. That extra person turns missed clients into paying ones. The math works out better than you'd think when you're both busy.
