It Was Supposed to Be
The beginning of this week was tough. Very tough.
Truth be told, I had a "tentative" verbal offer from an interview a couple of weeks ago. So why not be excited? Well, we had discussed salary, role, start date and that I could probably expect a call this past Friday and this seemed like a completely done deal. Only because I have seen these things before and watched them come and go with all kinds of promise, I just could not find it in me to say this is done and celebrate. It's almost like I need to physically walk into work on day one for this to really be done. Well, turns out Friday came and went. Monday brought the news that "things had changed."
You just could not begin to imagine how frustrating and up and down this has all been on my end. This is not the first time. It is just "this" close - so close that it has been completely unreasonable the way that opportunity has been snatched away from me time and time again. It's as if this just defies reason. This is like if somebody suddenly said to me that Monday now follows Wednesday which is after Friday.
It still gets me how this has changed the world of people that I know. I still can't get over my friends being separated. That just blows me away. They really looked out for me when I lived in FL and made sure I was ok. I owe them a lot for that. And now this happens to them and they are not even in the same city.

I hate being at the whim of others. I don't need to get to the door on Monday, I'm happy with an employment contract.
I'm trying something new. It seems like as good a time as any.
I'm not sure what I can say to help you with your friends other that they decided it was the best thing for them. This assumes that they made the decision and one of them didn't act unilaterally.
