Abandonment

One would think that in light of the fact that my boss and my husband recently abandoned me, I would start to get used to it. But no. This time its different. This time its permanent. This time its Erin.

Erin is leaving me. Today is her last day at work. She starts a new job on Monday and my work-life will slowly start to deteriorate because of it. *sigh* She claims things will not change. But we all know its a lie. I mean who am I gonna have lunch with everyday? Who is gonna leave their water bottle on my desk 5 times a day? Who is gonna have entire conversations with me using purely emoticons? Who is going to have an IM staring contest with me? 😐 Who is gonna remind me that “almonds are better than cheesecake?” (Cause left alone, I will totally eat the cheesecake.) Who is going to accompany me to the mall on a regular basis and tell me “yes, those pink shoes would be fabulous on you” and stop my from buying another basic black pair?

I could go on and on and on about all the things that only Erin can do, but I think you get the point. I just have to deal with the fact that everyone leaves me. History has proven this. Heather moved to Corvallis to get away from me and when that wasn’t far enough she moved to freakin’ Bellingham. Practically Canada!! Then Carole went and moved back home to the beach. What is next?? Am I going to have to start making friends with boys?? Ewwww!

  1. I’m so sorry, honey. Hey, I will be in Portland next Friday, the 17th if you wanna do lunch or something. And SOME boys are okay to be friends with. : )

  2. Oh my dear Carrie! I could never truly leave you! You have been SUCH a good friend to me! You have showed me that I really can be friends with a girl 🙂 I would never be able to go cold turkey on you. I know that work may not be quite as exciting (who else would wear a tiara around here) but it will be ok. We will make lunch dates and shopping dates. Don’t forget Wed night dinners. Plus, I do live right around the corner. Do not worry, I would be lost without you, really, no joke! You are the best and you are going to start wondering how to get rid of me soon I will be around so much!
