DaiJB:
I don't think that bed actually gets slept on very much hur hur hur
Seriously, two people trying to sleep on a single bed? Particularly when one is as long as Dale and the other is as - ahem - bountiful as Marigold? Time to spend some of that profit, for the sake of better sleep!
BenRG:
First day on the job for Business Manager May and it is very clear that she has spent the last night creating, editing and microscopically fine-tuning a business plan, 'to do' list and schedule to make Marigold a runaway business success.
Meanwhile, yes, I think it's time for Marigold to spend some of that money. A double-sized bed might be good for Dale's health.

No, it's an intermission; possibly a long one. That's characteristic of Jeph's writing.
Tova:
You're very confident as is your wont, but I'm not convinced that this specific story will be picked up again. But hey, it's entirely possible. I wouldn't bet either way myself.
BenRG:
When you think about it, the job description May was given was very vague. "Business Manager" could reasonably also include marketing, licensing and expansion of the product line to increase the revenue of the enterprise.
The lesson? When someone can probably work 21 hours in 24 and has a direct link to communications and information networks, be precise with the description of what you want done. Don't rely on their perception of your intent. Yes, Marigold intended May to just manage her money but May is taking the initiative to do all the other things that the job could also entail!
Perfectly Reasonable:
Calling it now: May has consulted with Beepatrice about the fine points of business management.
