Look! I made a cake!
Today was ostensibly the last day for two of my co-workers, the one who was retiring and the one who was going to a private firm in Vancouver. The cake was for the latter (we got her a tiara, too. Get it? A crown? Yeah, we're hilarious.)
However, turns out that she got to work today, and there was an email waiting for her from the new firm, rescinding the job offer. Um, oops.
Little tip for you: if you're going to breach an employment contract, I'd recommend not doing it if said employee is a lawyer, who has other lawyer friends. Yeah.
So, it was a bit of a drama-filled day for the poor girl, but it looks like she's taking a month off and then coming back to our office. I hope it works out for her. And that she sues the jerky firm for big bucks (or at least enough to pay off the apartment she signed a lease for in Vancouver...)

Umm, wow. That's crazy. And I'm left a little unclear as to why she's coming back to your office. AND then why she's taking a month off? Not that it's ANY of my business, but you know, you've been talking about it for so long now that you've got me really curious about it all!!! MISS YOU!!! XOXOXOXOXOXO Erica
