Today another coworker of mine told us that he will be leaving the firm. This is four people since I began 10 months ago. I hope the exodus has not been caused by me. This resignation will actually affect me because the guy is in my department, sits next to me, and is at my level. So, the whole that he leaves in our work flow will potentially be filled by me.
I did not try to organize another trivia team tonight. This past weekend I tried again to mobilize my Milwaukee friends into going out together. And again, they did not come. I'm getting disillusioned by my "circle of friends" and I'm beginning to really miss my classmates from BU. I know they would never turn down an offer to play trivia, or go dancing, or go see the Riverwest Accordian Club. At least I have Simon, who is never afraid to turn away from his thesis paper to drink a beer. Or play cribbage. Or go to the casino and win big. This past Friday we went bar-hopping and I showed him a range of bars, from the trendy to the plain, nothing fancy, just-get-drunk kinds of establishments. We had a great time.
I will miss Simon when he goes back to Belgium in a month. However, with that pending deadline, we're motivated to see more things in Milwaukee. Tonight I suggested a day trip to Chicago and he asked about Madison. I didn't mention this but I think it would also be incredibly funny to go country line dancing. And of course, a brewery tour. I'm hoping that Raymond really does come to visit at the end of the month. A visit from Ray and a big send-off for Simon would make May the best month I've spent in Milwaukee yet.

"I hope the exodus has not been caused by me." check your armpits. it could just be body odor that is causing all of these resignations.
You have to go country line dancing. Then tell me how it was. I wonder if it stacks up to Jersey's version.
Wisconsin can only give so much of its dancing resources to Line Dancing because so much of our dancing resources are invested in the Polka.
