Out of the Courtroom and into the Pit

anonymous source texting story to peepsNet

peepsNet is pleased (and our lawyers are relieved) to report that we were correct to go out on a limb and disclose, on the word of a single source, that Nicole was changing jobs. Her new gig is copy-editing for a cool-sounding financial reporting outfit that serves a list of private clients. Given her 5+ years at Reuters (another cool-sounding financial reporting outfit that serves a lisst of private clients) I guess this proves the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Nicole is halfway there: has accepted the new job, hasn't given notice. Awkward. Preparing to give notice at the old place has proved to be a bit anxiety provoking. But we are sure it will be accomplished with grace and aplomb. peepsNet had other ideas and offered up a number of below-the-belt parting shots and "yo mamma" jokes. You're welcome, anyway.

Not only is the new job better in every way but one (it, like, starts at a normal part of the business day instead of siesta time) but Nicole had the audacity to ask for more money than they were offering. Our tough-as-nails pal would have made The Donald quiver as she got them to pony up 14% than their original offer. Oh, to have been a fly on the wall ...
