Dear Rags,

You are implying that we had sex, which is untrue.

Dear bison,

Get over yourself. It was just a stupid JOPKE.

Will do.

Dear Drunk,

Long distance relationships usually fail, not because of any lack of effort, but because they are a symptom of the fact that you are now peripheral to each other's day to day lives. If you decided you were going to live together after school or that one of you was going to move to the other's city in a couple months, then there'd be a different vibe, but essentially you decided to move away from each other.

It's not a lack of love, it's a lack of feeling like this is the person for whom you'll make the sacrifices necessary to stay together. Sounds like your relationship ran its course.

It also sounds like they're fresh out of high school and will be going to different colleges. Forget about it. Part ways and be done.

Dear Bison,
I have spent the last 3.5 years as part of the Wal*Mart team, our biggest customer. I have the opportunity to make a lateral move on another team. Same pay, options, vacation, bonus, etc. It is a smaller customer, but there is a lot of exposure with it (not as much as the prior job). My boss would be the guy who brought me into the company 9 years ago and my boss's boss would be my first boss on the Wal*Mart team a few years ago - who treated me very well.

They have approached me about the gig and it seems to be very promising. My boss is 57 and the director says that she would like to groom me as his backfill when he leaves in a couple of years.

Do I take the plunge - even with the political fallout of leaving the biggest team in the company?

Also,
My brother got a job offer with Oracle. When he went to tell his current employer he was leaving, they offered $20,000 more per year. Originally the Oracle job was going going to be the same pay, but have a career path, 401k, benefits, etc. I told him to suck it up in the short term and go to Oracle, he is torn. What say you?

Thanks,
Kevin
