Thank you for calling .. Wait where am I???

I got a call on Tuesday the 16th from one of the guys I work with, who I'm the closest with, he said he had 2 things he wanted to tell me. He said he had to tell me in private and that I needed to call him back when I was alone. So obviously, due to zero patience, I called him back within 10 minutes. 1st thing was that where is girlfriend works there is a job opening that he thought I'd be perfect for. He told me what they pay, the benefits, and all the pros & cons to the position. 2nd thing was that he was going to call in sick tomorrow to try out a new job he's interested in. He then proceeds to tell me about his possible new job -- and this job totally kicks ass. Ok - well I hung up with him. And it all hit me. I'm not going to be able to see him every weekday, 8 hours a day. I'm not going to be able to tell him what's on my mind. Talk about a guy that I'm seeing that's bugging me and ask him what I should do. I'm losing a friend. I have worked with him for 3 years, and I've just become so close to him. So this is going through my head, along with a job offer I can't refuse -- meaning I will have to say goodbye to not only 1 of the guys, but ALL of them. Blah. I mean I've worked for this company since I was 18. Since I was in high school. These guys have been there for me. They watched me lose all my weight, and "blossom" into what I am today. So I get a migraine. I want to put a bullet between my eyes, I think I would've if I had had a gun. The day passed. The next day I told our boss that he called in sick. He was such an ass about it. At that very moment I made up my mind, I'm going to try and get that job. Thursday I call the guy's girlfriend and told her that I would like to fill the position at hand. Friday I met with the owner of the company. He loves me. I'm in. I start Jan. 5. As for my buddy -- he's going with his new job as well. He starts Monday the 29th. Our boss still doesn't know he's leaving. That'll be a fun day. Oh wait, I have Monday off. Bummer.
