Lj and I are going to visit Niki for her wedding reception! And I couldn't be more excited. I haven't seen Niki in almost 2 years, way too long in my opinion! We're only going for 4 days, so we'll have to make the most of every minute! I'm super excited! My first trip out west.
Something that is not so happy is that we received notice that our technician in our group is resigning. To go and work for my former boss who quit in November. Sheesh! Another one bites the dust! A year ago, we had 8 people in my group, now we'll be down to 4. Need to hire a new technician pronto! The other project manager and I are going to go for lunch tomorrow to have a little pow-wow about this and try to figure out what the heck we're going to do without our tech. And I'm going to treaten him within an inch of his life saying he better not quit too! And I'm sure he'll do the same for me. We are the 2 managers, so without us, the group would fall apart, or so I would like to think ;) Everyone is important, we need our CAD operator too. This just is getting scary. Since I started 2 years ago, almost 15 people have left. When you have a department of 25, that is a lot! We have some new people too though. I guess the turnover rate in consulting is high. I'm one of the veterans now, I guess ;)

Yay! I'm excited :) I was waiting for niki to post before I said anything.
Well I was going to wait for Niki to post before I mentioned our trip, but I am just too darn excited to hold it in! ;)
Sorry... been a bit slow on the posting front lately! I am very excited too!!!
Oh... as for turn-over in the consulting world... it is so very, very high! I've lost count of how many people we've lost since I started in May '05.
