desperanceI do understand about jobs, really I do. People have to have them, and if they want nice ones, sometimes they have to go elsewhere to find them. I get that.
I just hate the going-elsewhere element, when it means that my circle of nearby friends diminishes. It's been going on for years, by ones and twos; I have sat here and watched my world fray away.
You will gather that it's happening again. They broke the news to me this weekend, that two of my close friends are off, before the next academic year. Promotion, kudos, dosh, all of that good stuff. I begrudge none of it, of course: just the absence.
Phooey.
