Aww, Stop Complaining! Everything's Fine!

As of Monday, my coworker at the office started a new job. She left rather suddenly, having been requested to start at her new job right away. Although this left us with very little warning, I can't say that I blame her for leaving. I mean, I wouldn't turn down a job that's in my field either. Also, she's been looking for another job for a while. And while I am very happy for her, I can't help be feel a little selfish about it either. Boo, she left me! And there's no one at reception during the day anymore, so all of the work piles up and I have to take care of it the two days a week that I'm there! Well, there's also someone there on Fridays, so that's alright. Anyway, her absence was apparent the first day... when I arrived at the office, everyone seemed extra frazzled and there was lots of work for me to do! It was actually a pleasant change, seeing as I spend most of my evenings there reading a book or surfing the net. I also figured that what with losing one person, I would get requests to work extra hours. Sure enough, I was asked to take on any extra day shifts that I could. I've volunteered an extra two days for after the spring break but I can't be expected to do this all the time: I've got to concentrate on school!

Anyhow, I hope they hire someone soon. The nice thing about this situation is that perhaps I'll get a chance at better hours, seeing as I will no longer be the newest person there! Yeah! And if I end up staying there for the summer, maybe I won't have to work all of the evening shifts. That'd be nice...

Anyway, I wish my old coworker the best of luck in her new job!
