I just got very good inside information that Kathy, my co-worker and fellow business analyst, is likely to leave for a job in the B-school in the next few weeks. Crap. This is not the time of the year when that would be a good thing (not that it would ever be a good thing, but this is when Trish and I both have major projects, and rely on Kathy, whose projects are usually lightest this time of year, to handle more day-to-day stuff). Nothing's definite, but it's still worrisome (and no, I'm not saying she shouldn't leave based on the time of the year -- she's got two kids to support, and as long as she gives notice and wraps projects up, that's fine).
