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?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

What is even happening?
I hope you don't have to find out, unless you want to, sara.

Kill him now, reduce the competition.
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.
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).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Best of the best, sara.
Yes, I just wished you Eric Roberts. What of it?
Aimée, where did you have the curry?
