Holy Absence, Batman!

It has been a while since my last visit to paretsam’s weblog. The quick reason is because I was out-of-state and had numerous responsibilities keeping me busy. But the return has occurred. Things can return to normal.

Except for the news that I may be moving. MAY be moving. I’m scheduled for an interview that will, once again, take me away from my home. The date for this interview is not scheduled, but I’m positive it will happen.

Thoughts on this possible job/location change? It’s a stark two-way road. I’ve really wanted this job since before I graduated from University. It would give me the opportunity to expand and grow. A big plus is the idea that my responsibilities would become more focused on one task. (quite a large task, however) The other side is the individuals I’ve come to know at my current job; I am truly in love with a few of them. They have become real friends and not the kind that you see only at work and then shyly nod when you see them in public. Even though our ages may be offset by a few years, I enjoy spending time with them. I think I will miss these characters the most if I were to leave. Maybe one more than the others and that could be an issue.

An issue not yet for this post.

Of course, there’s always e-mail and AIM – but like I said before, it just isn’t the same.

Decisions will need to be made and hearts could be broken. Will it be the right choice? Will it be the correct choice?

Of Another Friend

Here’s a story about another friend. I had mentioned earlier about someone who just irritates the snot out of me. So here is friend number two. He doesn’t really bother me as much, but here’s the latest that got me wondering about people in general. (Like most things do right?)

This person we’ll call, Mamsy, is upset about something. I’m making the first mistake by assuming what she is upset about which is: she doesn’t spend as much time with the group of friends. In other words, she’s not invited to every outing/game/activity/you-name-it. And I suppose (mistake #2) this makes her angry. Or jealous maybe.

So here’s my thinking; why is she so upset? Is it because she isn’t invited? Is it because she doesn’t have that many friends and it feels like we don’t want her around? Is it something I’ve overlooked?

Therefore I’m trying to figure out why we don’t invite Mamsy to everything and I believe it’s because we actually don’t enjoy being around her. It’s not that she’s a bad person…I don’t know what it is. I suppose she does have a reason to be upset. I guess I would be too.
