it's only the end of the first week of the year and it already feels like the end of a month. i cannot tell if the days have grown longer or time has moved slower.
i'm still getting news of people's lives shifting and changing directions. spillovers from 2008 or simply the culmination of Things triggered in 2008.
one girl i used to work with has "crossed over" as i was told. meaning, she now has a girlfriend instead of a boyfriend.
a very close colleague and friend, on the other hand, has told me about an irresistible job offer and he seems to be going to take it. and he is one of the last people i ever thought would make any such move if only because of how crucial he is to clients now. but he told me the offered package has something that would greatly benefit his family, and i guess no one can argue with that. if it were just the job and the money there would still be a good chance of him staying. but that family perk, well, that's what tips the balance.
today i will leave the office early and hit the gym. i need at least one prework before i hit the dojo tomorrow. already i could feel the tightening in my chest caused by dread.
