Yet another person resigned from my team today - this is happening with such maddening regularity lately that it almost doesn't register. You know, like when people die in a war. Except this one really did register. I spent about an hour walking around the mall this afternoon after I found out, with no sense of where I was, what I was doing, or where I was going. (Read not subtextual profundity into that statement however; I was simply off the mental grid for a while, lost in thought.) In today's case, the individual in question is totally making the right move on a personal and professional level, and I'm happy for him - it's a move we're all going to make, some sooner, some later, but in time. Nonetheless, it sucks on a personal level because once again, it's someone I was in the process of learning a lot from, and was only getting started. But on we go, as ever, for that is all there is. I'm okay with it. Just another turn.

I feel like this monkey. (Thanks to Demetre for sending the link and thereby giving me the language to articulate that which I feel like.)
