i’m getting so tired of carrying around this giant lump of sadness.
kari, the best friend, has accepted a position at a different company. it’s so hard. i’m happy for her, she just got like 23% raise. . . and that’s so wonderful. of course part of me wants to be a big, fat baby because that means i won’t get to see her everyday. there will be no more lunches and secret breaks and what not.
kari’s leave of software is just part of a giant problem in softwareland. i’m so confused about work. part of me feels stupid of sticking around there. sort of immature and lazy. but if things pan out i could end up on top of the world. what’s a girl to do?
blech!

To me I would place stability over money any day of the week. I would gladly take a 25% pay cut if your told me that there wouldn’t be any layoffs in a couple years. I know that after some one leaves on their own or as part of a layoff it can totally change the dynamic of what it is like to work there. I am sorry to hear that and I wish I didn’t know what you are feeling but I know it all too well. It ends up my email is down (I can’t check it at work )so if you want to get a hold of me post to my site.
Yeah, but the stability thing is only a big deal if you’re married and have kids, or have a mortgage, or other such responsibilities.
Single folk should chase the golden ring.
It will work out somehow. It always does. You WILL find your place, just be patient, but continue to advance your goals.
Unfortunately, I have said responsibilities and my work is only to pay them off. I am not of the creative type. I just “process”. There’s no pride in my job, just a paycheck.
I would give all the stars in the sky to stay just so we could continue with our daily schedule. Jodi, you really are the only thing I will regret leaving. I know we will make a new schedule.
I respect you for your commitment. I believe it will work out for you. Too bad it wouldn’t for me.
