Send it back if it's not suited to what you need.There is no sense in hanging on to it. It's too long to be used indoors. Heck my 45mm is about as long as I would care to go indoors for general photography.

Send it back? How about hang onto it a bit longer than a few days to shoot it some more, then if it still doesn't suit the OP sell it to someone else. Sending it back to the place one bought it because the OP doesn't like the lens and there's nothing wrong with it is just not right.

I've gotten along swimmingly with my 75/1.8 on my GX7. Fast aperture with IBIS works wonders and the not-so-close focusing hasn't been an issue too many times (it is a 75mm lens after all).

Keep it a while - it might just grow on you.
