Another One Bites the Dust (version 2)

So someone else from our Marketing Department is leaving this week. The person gave a week's notice -- so they could still have the week of Christmas off. It's kind of amusing b/c the other person in marketing that left like a week ago -- this new guy -- definately going to the same company. So guess what this means with a small company like the one I work for??? Oh -- that's right -- we don't have a marketing department after Friday!

Awesome.

I keep wondering if I'm smart for sticking around getting more vested in my stock options -- or if I'm dumb for not leaving like everyone else... I can't really decide. Since I started this will be the 33rd person since I started -- less than 17 months ago. That means I need one more person before the end of the year for me to get to 2/month since I started. It's kind of a sick goal to have - but there it is. Over half of our company is new since the begining of the year between the turn over and the excessive growth. We also are looking to increase at least 25% by the end of the second quarter if we can find everyone we need. This growth is kind of ridiculous and amazing that it has been sustained for so long.

Guess this means I get to do more product marketing functions.

I'm so glad I'm off after Friday.

And now for the Weekend update, with your host: Tina Fay

I only wish I had the ingenuity that Tina Fay has in her writing... I'm afraid I'm a desperate lot and most often any attempts at being humorous fall flatter than the breasts in the Itty Bitty Titty Committee. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it), this weekend was relatively tame. Lots of drinking -- but not that exciting. Didn't really get to meet a lot of new people. Though the highlight had to be the marriage proposal I got. Yes, that's right, a marriage proposal. While I'm waiting impatiently to get into the single stall in the ladies room -- I recieved the most amazingly wretched drunk pickup line weirdness. "Will you marry me." Me: "Excuse me are you talking to me?" Druken boy: "Yeah, will you marry me?" Me: "Um no, I don't even know you. I don't even live here." Drunken boy: "Me either." Me: "Um okay -- so I just want to pee." Drunken boy: "But will you ...

Nicest Weather EVER!

The ride to work this morning was amazing. It was some of the nicest weather that I've seen in a long time. Almost 60 deg F, sunny, just nice. I want more of this weather. Bought tickets today for BOSTON! I'm in major need of a mini-break and in major need of getting away from work for a few days. I'm so excited to go back! I miss it sooo much. It's hard living somewhere you don't like. It just makes me think of looking for another job so that I don't have to live here anymore. But I'm not even partially vested yet -- so I need to stay at least a full year to become at least partially vested. *Sigh* Work stucks today for so many reasons. I'm glad it's friday. And I'm really glad I get to go to Boston next weekend. Yeah for Boston!
