Aw, Fiona I'm sorry. I hope something great comes along.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Jesse and I are the same job wise. I don't think I have ever had a job more than 3 years. This distresses my parents a great deal. Still, I don't see the pattern changing, since I'll be leaving this job at 2.5 years.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no, Fiona! Good luck.
And ditto to your neph and his parents, Sara. I know several people who are deaf in one ear and do fine. Except for not waking up for anything when they sleep on the good ear and turning their head to hear better sometimes. And that's the worst-case scenario, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Fiona, I hope you work an upgrade.
I'm awake too early today, with a migraine. But not as early as you, Perkins. I hope you got back to sleep.
I pissed around for half an hour and I shouldn't have. Too late to bother lying down again properly.

I've stayed at jobs longer with each one. My last one was 2.5 years, and this one will HOPEFULLY be 3.5 years.
My jobs do not tend to bring new and exciting challenges, so after I've been through the cycle a couple times, I'm ready to move on.

Fiona! I'm so sorry to hear!
I don't know how I'd feel about six months warning -- it gives you time to prepare, but it could be a long period of mourning, too.
Still, it's more civilized than coming into work one morning and being greeted by a security guard with a box of your possessions....

You have just described my dad. Except that now that he's 81, he has a hearing aid in his good ear.

I'm so sorry, Fiona.
My first job was about 2.5 years, the next one 9 years and I'm in year 3 of the current one. I'm starting to look for a new job, but I'm going to be pretty picky - I'd like more money and a different employer, but I love the people and the hours here.

I'm just past three in my current job, but for once I'm not feeling burned out and antsy for a change, so that's good.
