Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

Damn! Piss. Bugger. Damn. FUCK!
N announced today that she's accepted a job in Maryland.
One of my few friends, who's been around for 4 years (that's longevity where I work). A woman I respect, admire, and care about.
She has to take the job. It's perfect for her. It's perfect for where she is in life. It's not-quite-perfect-but-damn-close for her career. She has to take it.
It doesn't mean that I can't be upset. Hey, it says right in my title block, "self-pitying, meandering thoughts." Am I jealous? Damn right. Even Wife said that she could live in Baltimore. It's supposed to be a great city in which to live. But I'm begining to resign myself to the fact that I'll never leave this stinking town.
I'm really gonna miss her. I think we work well together, and this took some time to develop. And she's fun, funny, and intelligent to boot.
I'm really going to miss her.
