March 19 and May 30 mark the 1 year anniversary of Jennifer and my, respectively, hire date into the business/working world. We plan to celebrate/commemorate the day by having dinner on a date in between the two, on April 26th... the day of my twin friends' birthday! Celebrating ON their birthday, and congratulating my roommate for a year completed! Kidding.
Anyway, with the celebrations of our one years coming soon, comes news of my coworker Susan's job offer at Citco. She apparently was offered a position sometime yesterday afternoon, shortly after her interview earlier that day. She'll be in the area of fund accounting, with a base salary of 50k + overtime + bonus + 401(k) match of up to 4% annual base salary - vision plan. All sounds super better than what she is currently making at our establishment.
The irony of this news is that I was so unhappy yesterday with our relationship, and her boyfriend's relation with my own, and was so disengaged from it that I had taken it out on my significant other. I had disposed all my negative feelings, and went as far as to want to sever all ties to him, solely because of a disagreement out of his scope of control. Today, after I finally engaged in some civil conversations, she finally relents and tells me about the job offer, and her intent on accepting the offer. Ill-will, or not, I feel that despite all the negativity, I'd rather work with her than not, because the burdens she carries, or in a couple of months, carried, will fall on the rest of our already short-staffed team, and that means mine. I'm not sure exactly how much burden she carries, but I am sure it is quite a load, considering she is able to support so many various people when others do call in sick. The only way to do it is to take it all one day at a time, and start to acquire other tasks, and ask to shadow to learn as much as I can before she leaves, so that I would not be burdened when she is finally gone.
The good thing is that she'll always be my friend, and will probably continue to be until we marry, considering our significant others seem to have taken a particular liking to each other. We'll probably still try to hang out, and with that said, our first real trip together happens this Saturday, up to the snow, for a one-day trip to Northstar at Tahoe. Just so happens that it's Burton Demo day, so people can demo new boards and such for free, and even get free lessons on how to ride. Best news: there's been about 4 feet of snow in the last 7 days, and it's been raining on and off all week, so new powder when we go, so our behinds won't ache as much when we do happen to fall flat on them.
