What good news, what bad news
In the happy news department several friends and a roommate have gotten new job offers!
Huzzah!
Only in several cases this means 1) friends will be further away or 2) friends will be much further--3,000 miles away.
Damn.
It reminds me of a book I had growing up called What Good Luck, What Bad Luck.
The poor hero would have to jump out of a plane but he'd make a water landing (what good luck!) only the body of water would be filled with man-eating crocodiles (what bad luck!)
I feel this way about my soon-to-be-newly-employed friends. It's great to see their efforts pay off, but sad to contemplate their leaving my daily sphere.
Though I already told Amy, my roommate, that she can't accept her job offer in July.
July is when my book debuts.
She'd miss the awesome book parties and such.
She'll just have to go to California in August.
