Harumph. People who begin their names with lower-case letters, dissing my capitalization skills.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Noodling (catching fish with your hands) becomes legal in Georgia tomorrow.
I have to ask...there was more than one person in a position of legislative authority that wanted to do this? Why?
Apparently there was a strong pro-noodling lobby. Until they passed the law, I had assumed that if a fish wandered into your hands, it was fair game. Not that I've ever noodled myself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You know what? I have this horrible suspicion that it will be him or me in layoffs. Gonna SUCK.
Ugh. Would there be decent severage, anyway?

He'll get it. I won't. See, I'm a subcontractor. My company does it differently. We don't get severance, but we do get 2 weeks notice (as opposed to 2 days with limited account access) and supposedly the company actually tries to place us elsewhere. Not sure if we get paid in the placement period. I think there is some interval in which we don't, but still have benefits and all that. Not sure. Well, if I have to find out, I will.

Oof. Good luck.
And, of course, remember that sometimes Change Is Good.

I hope you don't have to find out, unless you want to, sara.

Kill him now, reduce the competition.

I have friends in Arkansas that wax poetic about the art of sticking your hands under the shady bank of a river to grab unsuspecting catfish. They say stuff like, only one in two or three times will you get ahold of something that will give you a nasty bite.

But I like him! He's been my officemate most of 8 years.
And as Jesse said, change can be good. Especially for me. I just don't like it.

Good luck, sarameg. With however it turns out.

Oh, I got that, I think I was caught up in the usual Natter zeitgeist. As a zombie, he'd be much less competition for you too. Goofiness aside (which is tough for me), I hope the job sitch works out well for you, stay or go (or zombification).
