i love my job. i really do. right now we are going through some horrible staffing issues. people come and go so fast. they hinder instead of help, then they leave. seeing them leave is a relief and frustration at the same time. next week someone else will walk in, suck, and then leave. then rebecca came...but now she is leaving :(
i worked with rebecca at my last job. we werent like close, but we always got along. we werent in the same department so it was just small chit chat in passing. though i did attend her kids birthday party once. anyway, i posted on my facebook asking if any of my friends wanted a hard job for not so great pay. i was worried as to which friend may ask about the job. rebecca did and immediatly i was like "yea, rebecca is cool!" her application process was stupid long. my boss said she was overqualified with her vet tech degree and such. she said she didnt mind. FINALLY she got it.
we were fast friends. we have so much in common- a dead beat ex husband, our oldest kids are the exact same age (and one of her daughters even looks like she could be my oldest daughters long lost twin!), we are pretty much the same age. she even packed like the exact same lunch as me her first day (and many other days) we are the only girls at the farm, yet we have the biggest brains lol. we talk about anything and everything. i tell her things i wouldnt think to tell anyone else. we can poke fun at each other one minute, and empathize with each other the next. we protect each other from the boys. we help each other when no one else would jump in and help. we decided we were totally BFFs lol.
then biolife called. 2 more dollars an hour, immediate benefits, sundays off, etc. why wouldnt she leave?? i want her to go because i wish her well. i am sad that she is leaving. its not even that she is leaving and we will be short handed. i wouldnt care if there was 100 peole working there i would still be sad. she too is probably crying herself to sleep right now.
im still going to see her and text her 100 times a day. i am going to go get her girls on days the works past daycares closing. we will still be BFFs, i just wont see her every single day.
i am so happy she got to work with me for a short while. now she will understand any story i tell of the farm (not alot of people "get it"), and i have someone i can talk to about anything, everything and more., someone i can trust with my biggest secrets or embarrassing moments. she is definitely the true definition of a best friend. i love you rebecca, enjoy your new job (and now i cry too)
