Happiness for my Coworkers

A coworker, let's call him Bason, is going on vacation shortly but I couldn't remember when exactly he was going.  When asking him today he thought I said where.

"Oh, Berlin, Amsterdam and..."

At that point I started tuning out.  My jealousy Unicorn reared her beautiful green head ( I like to picture her as a majestic mint green Unicorn...I like to picture everything as a Unicorn...deal) and it makes hearing difficult sometimes.  

"No, I said when"

"Oh, tomorrow"

....

"I hate you"

He laughed it off like it's something I usually say; then we went our separate ways.   My everyday responses usually involve something along the lines of hatred or "your ugly".  I began to wonder.  Is that an appropriate response to give?  Should I have said something along the lines of 

"Wow, Bason, that's awesome, I'm really happy for you.  You've been working so hard, you deserve it."

Isn't that the human thing to do?  Be supportive of one another?  Of course I'm happy for Bason.  I'm also happy for my other coworker... Cryan... who is going to LA for a few days and then the Cook Islands (also tomorrow).  As I think of this Juniper the Jealousy Unicorn appears out of the corner of my eye; shaking her glorious main in protest.

"NO Laureen!!  You are NOT happy!  You have to stay in lame Calgary"

(she says this with her piercing glare)

"The last coworkers that went on vacation didn't even bring you a gaudy keychain... a KEYCHAIN!!  That's all you wanted.  Let your 5th cup of coffee in the day help fuel your ragousy (rage and jealousy).  Sssssssh... It won't be okay "

....

You're right Juniper.  You. Are. Right.  I should be jealous.  I will silently seethe at my desk.  Frowning like Tard.  Waiting for the 50th keychain to add to my key ring.  I only have 3 keys.  It's barely enough chains.  

I would love a latte.  Thanks Juniper.
