The "Only Child" Syndrome is when an only child finds out his/her parents are having another baby and he/she feels threatened that he's/she's not the cutest anymore. Now he/she has to share all the toys, be a good role model, and watch the parents split their attentions between two people.
Ricardo has a new co-op in the IT department and asked me to move my desk over and move my hours/days so she can work there too. That makes a total of 3 actual co-ops in Ricardo (and 1 is an engineer).
I'm cynical because it's like they're upgrading or something. It's like the IT department is adopting another kid or something.
See, there's only 2 co-ops in the US's Ricardo locations. I'm one of them. And today, Claude comes over and is like, "umm so about your summer plans... you'll have to move your days and hours around and also move your desk over because we have another IT co-op coming in." I know, I know, I'm super-spoiled.
I guess what happened was this girl from Grand Valley is best friends with the President of Ricardo's daughter and asked him to get her a job. What pisses me off, is I fought through hell to get this job and she just comes home from college and whines that she needs a job. So Jeremy, the president (who has never dropped by to meet me, say hi, or anything - our company is small enough that he should), pretty much told Claude he didn't have a choice but to take her in and treat her like me. What if they like her more than me? What if she's smarter and prettier?
I guess that determines that I would never survive at Bosch where there are hundreds of co-ops and they get thrown into a room to do crappy work (as a nice way to put it) and aren't even guaranteed their jobs. They're born into a family with lots of brothers and sisters. Or maybe that's a good thing.
Her resume says she can type 80 wpm. Bring it on baby, bring it on.
