Territorial
Comments (14) On Friday I met with a college classmate of mine for lunch.
Good god, what is wrong with me? I literally work TWO blocks away from this guy. I really enjoy his company and consider him a friend. And I hadn’t seen him for maybe… 5 months?!?! No one is that busy.
Anyway. He was updating me on our classmates’ whereabouts when he told me one of our classmates is looking for a job in Chicago, but having a hard time getting interviews and responses.
Before I even thought about it, I blurted out, “She should send a resume to my firm. We are looking for people right now.”
Then, I had a really, really weird feeling in my stomach.
Working with a former classmate shouldn’t be that strange, right? You spent at least four years of school with them, and chances are, have worked with them before. And you wouldn’t recommend a person you don’t like send a resume to your firm (I didn’t), so it should all be fun and games!
But I think I’m a bit territorial. And settled. And comfortable. It would be SO WEIRD to have someone I know from college waltz into my office and sit across from me.
It might be fun. But it might be weird. Those are just the thoughts that went through my head.
It’s highly unlikely anything will happen anyway…
