Friday, June 25, 2004 Goodbye Jill Well, today was Jill Pill's last day. Of course, it being a Friday in Summer, I'm home instead. So Steve and I had to make a special trip to have a final lunch and a goodbye. Which is more than just bittersweet at this point. Steve had to leave work almost a year ago when cutbacks weren't enough and he got laid off. And now they've force JP out as well. It's a different story with her in that she just couldn't take it anymore. 
Between the incompetence of others, the fact we are constantly asked to track hours according to some ancient Byzantine moon-cycle formula, having to make up for your own sick/vacation time (I kid you not) and the fact that most editorial decisions are not actually in their hands, I think it's surprising she actually lasted this long. My job is different enough that I don't experence the same stresses, but fuck them. They managed to drive my friends away that that pisses me off. I hope to keep in touch. But I have some 20-year friends that have a hard time coordinating a picnic. Life is like that, if you aren't forced to live near, or work with, you just don't see people once you have a family or a mortgage. So today one of my best friends has gone. Monday is going to suck. posted by Evil Wayne | 6:42 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
